HM Cloud: hands in the cloud from Holdem Manager
Holdem Manager announced the launch of
the HM Cloud service, which is ♣ "the first of its kind in the cloud with an integrated
heads-up display."
HM Cloud benefits
Thanks to the new service, users ♣ will not have to
download databases to their computers - all hands will be stored in the cloud. The
launch ♣ of such a service is a rather bold step that can significantly change the world
of modern poker.
If your computer ♣ slows down while running Holdem Manager or other
software, the situation can be significantly improved by using HM Cloud. The ♣ official
announcement says: “HM Cloud does not require your computer resources to perform single
calculations and search statistics for a ♣ player or his opponents. The local HM Cloud
client is installed on the computer and has two main functions: (1) ♣ sends new hand
histories to HM Cloud; (2) gets updated HUD data from HM Cloud and displays it at your
♣ table."
Requirements for installing HM Cloud
The requirements for installing HM Cloud
are minimal - the software installation process is quite simple. ♣ In addition, you do
not in any way clog the computer memory and do not overload it with additional options.
♣ HM Cloud can be accessed from any device connected to the Internet. That is, from a
practical point of view, ♣ you can sit at any computer and still be able to use all the
stats in the usual format.
HM Cloud ♣ works right in the browser, so it is kind of
standardized for various OSs, including Windows and Linux. That is, ♣ no matter what
computer you use and how perfect it is, HM Cloud will always be at your fingertips. The
♣ official announcement also says: “HM Cloud HUD for Mac users is scheduled to launch in
the near future. Since all ♣ processes, statistics generation and hand history storage
are performed on the HM Cloud servers, a minimum of memory and processor ♣ resources of
the user's local computer is used, even when playing at several tables."
Holdem Manager
is currently launching HM Cloud ♣ for alpha testing. The service is available only at
cash tables at PokerStars and only for users of the Google ♣ Chrome browser. By the time
HM Cloud hits the market in a full version, the service compatibility will be more
♣ extensive.
The data stored in the cloud service will be private and inaccessible to the
general public. In addition, HM Cloud ♣ can be used from a mobile device.
At the moment,
the cost of using the HM Cloud service is not disclosed. ♣ On this occasion, Holdem
Manager representatives noted: “As HM Cloud develops as a full-fledged product, we will
be able to ♣ more adequately assess its cost. When making these kinds of decisions, we
will certainly take into account the existing HM2 ♣ users. ”
