Paremus Contributes To Enterprise Grid Alliance
Paremus Ltd is proud to join leading technology companies and become a Sponsor
Member of the Enterprise Grid Alliance (EGA), a consortium formed to develop
enterprise Grid solutions and accelerate the deployment of Grid computing in
enterprises.
Formed in 2001 by senior IT architects from the investment banking industry,
Paremus brings a wealth of pragmatic experience and practical knowledge to the
development of enterprise Grid solutions. Enterprise Grid computing will be
the focus of Gt'04 (www.gt04.com), being held May 24-26 in
Philadelphia.
"Next generation business applications will be built upon self-healing,
dynamically scalable and functionally evolvable compute fabrics," said Richard
Nicholson, CTO of Paremus. "Our ongoing research, and development of robust,
self-healing, Jini service-oriented application framework solutions with
advanced network, storage and server technologies, means we have much to
contribute to the EGA."
The EGA is an open, independent and vendor-neutral community addressing the
near-term requirements for deploying commercial applications in a Grid
environment. Initial focus areas include reference models, provisioning,
security and accounting. The Alliance will address obstacles that
organizations face in using enterprise Grids through open, interoperable
solutions and best practices. By focusing exclusively on the needs of
enterprise users, the EGA will enable businesses to realize the many benefits
of Grid computing such as faster response to changing business needs, better
utilization and service level performance and lower IT operating costs.
"The EGA is an open consortium focused on pragmatic Grid solutions in the
enterprise," said Donald Deutsch, president of the Enterprise Grid Alliance
and vice president of standards strategy and architecture for Oracle Corp. "We
are very pleased to have Paremus join the organisation alongside other
solutions providers, as well as major Grid hardware and software component
vendors. Adding Paremus and its financial services specialization will further
extend the reach of the EGA."
"Grid computing will revolutionize the way our clients deploy IT resources,"
said Mike Francis, business development manager of Paremus. "As a founding
member of the EGA, we will be focusing on the needs of the enterprise in order
to encourage the proliferation of enterprise Grid computing. With solutions
developed specifically for enterprise Grids, companies will be able to realize
unprecedented cost, resilience and agility benefits."
