DataSynapse's GRID SOLUTION DEBUTS
AT IBM'S DESIGN CENTRE
DataSynapse Inc, the leading provider of a self-managed, guaranteed, grid
distributed computing platform, announced that is working with IBM to provide
grid customers with easy access to DataSynapse's LiveCluster solution at IBM's
European Design Centre for eBusiness on demand in Montpellier, France.
The DataSynapse value proposition provides a resilient, fault-tolerant
architecture for compute- and data-intensive applications in finance and
energy. LiveCluster advances grid computing through a number of proprietary
technology innovations that enable distributed data caching, high-
throughput/low-latency calculations, and guaranteed execution of services.
By running LiveCluster on IBM hardware, clients will be able to see how
under- utilised IT resources can be leveraged to develop new applications, run
existing applications, speed tasks and free IT management bandwidth.
Additionally, they will witness the unique ability to not only complete
computations efficiently, but also perhaps more importantly return the correct
data every single time, virtually eliminating data corruption.
DataSynapse's LiveCluster solution is installed at IBM's Design Centre for
eBusiness on demand in Montpelier, France, where it is available for
demonstrations and review by customers, along with other grid technologies. In
addition, IBM sales, technical teams and customers who want to know more about
grid computing can access LiveCluster through the IBM intra-grid, as well as
at IBM's Austin, Texas-based grid center.
"We're delighted to welcome DataSynapse to IBM's European design centre for
eBusiness on demand, since one major goal of the Design Centre is to enable
customers to view and test the most innovative grid software on the market
before deploying enterprise-wide grids," said Philippe Bricard, manager of
grid computing solution sales in EMEA, IBM. Since DataSynapse focuses on
application layer integration, its solution is complimentary to IBM's grid
efforts."
"Availability of DataSynapse's LiveCluster solution at IBM's design center
for eBusiness on demand is an important step for the company. By making
LiveCluster capabilities widely available through remote demonstrations over
the IBM intranet, we can enable customers and partners to easily learn more
about our technology." said Willy Ross, Managing Director, EMEA, DataSynapse
Inc.
Based on open standards including the OGSA, IBM's design centre for
eBusiness on demand is made up of Linux clusters running the latest IBM
eServer xSeries and eServer pSeries, including the eServer P690 -- previously
codenamed Regatta -- IBM's 'Shark' storage and IBM's DB2, Websphere and Tivoli
software.
IBM's centre for ebusiness on demand will also be linked to the IBM intra-
grid, a geographically distributed supercomputer that links various IBM
development labs in the US, Israel, Switzerland, Japan and England and benefit
from global experimentation and prototyping of Grid services and
solutions.
