SCS, UNITED DEVICES BRING ENTERPRISE GRID TO ASIA-PACIFIC

United Device announced that Singapore Computer Systems (SCS) will be a key distributor of the company's Grid MP Grid computing software. SCS chose United Devices due to the company's technical experience building large-scale Grid environments for highly diverse global corporations.

"SCS has provided a comprehensive range of information and communications technology solutions to businesses and institutions for over 20 years. To further our leading position as Grid and cluster computing solutions provider in the region, we want to sharpen our leading edge by adding a robust Grid technology solution to our product portfolio," said Vincent Lim, senior vice president of infrastructure at SCS.

"SCS has evaluated the scalability, flexibility, security and ease of deployment of commercial Grid vendors and have determined that United Devices' Grid MP platform is the most desirable solution for our demanding customers in Healthcare, Manufacturing, Academia, e-Government and other verticals. We are already seeing strong demand for this technology and expect that to increase going forward," he added.

United Devices' Grid MP platform allows for extremely flexible and scalable Grid deployments. Grid MP enables any organization to coordinate and share existing resources across departmental and geographically dispersed entities, creating a dynamic virtual infrastructure that transforms existing compute systems, storage, and networks into a powerful resource. The company offers several Grid MP solutions, including Grid MP Cluster for Linux cluster management and extension, all of which will be available from SCS.

"With SCS' talented technical team and strong customer relationships, they stand to become one of our most successful resellers," said Piush Patel, director of business development for United Devices. "The demand SCS is already seeing from organizations in manufacturing, government, and academia is exciting and indicates that Grid adoption is continuing to climb worldwide."

SCS will deliver United Devices Grid MP products in Singapore, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Australia, Philippines and Thailand.
