Ubitus

Ubitus is a technology company specializing in GPU virtualization, cloud solutions, and streaming platforms. Founded in 2007 by Wesley Kuo, Pegasus Chen, and Victor Shen, the company is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, with a subsidiary office in Taipei. Wesley Kuo, the current CEO, is a successful entrepreneur with a degree in Computer Science and Information Engineering from National Taiwan University. His career has been dedicated to cloud computing, distributed computing, and embedded solutions. The company's core offering is a white-label cloud gaming solution, branded as GameCloud, which allows game developers and publishers to stream AAA and other sophisticated games to various devices like smartphones, PCs, and smart TVs without requiring high-end hardware from the user. This is achieved through Ubitus's proprietary GPU virtualization and low-latency interactive streaming technology.

Ubitus operates on a B2B model, providing its technology as a turnkey solution for clients to build their own branded cloud gaming services. Its clientele includes telecom carriers, game companies, and online service providers such as NTT DoCoMo, Verizon, Tencent, and Square Enix. The business model involves licensing its cloud gaming platform technology and a GPU-as-a-Service (GaaS) platform where it helps manage platform operations for its clients. The company has secured strategic investments from major industry players including NVIDIA, Tencent, Samsung Venture Investment, and the Sony Innovation Fund. A Series D funding round in March 2024 was led by NVIDIA.

Expanding beyond gaming, Ubitus now applies its streaming and GPU computing power to other sectors, including the metaverse, fashion, real estate, and artificial intelligence. The company has developed a portfolio of AI solutions, such as UbiGPT, a large language model; UbiArt, an image and video generation tool; and UbiONE, a platform for creating AI-powered virtual characters. This expansion leverages its expertise in managing high-computational applications and one of Asia's largest GPU farms. Ubitus has also established Ubilink in collaboration with Foxlink, creating one of Asia's largest green energy AI computing centers.
