Cassatt Joins VMware Technology Alliance Program

Cassatt Corp. has joined the VMware Technology Alliance Program. With this technology alliance, Cassatt will optimize its flagship product Collage with VMware ESX Server, virtual infrastructure software for partitioning, consolidating, and managing servers in mission-critical environments. In addition, Cassatt and VMware plan to provide cooperative support for joint customers.

Integrating Cassatt Collage with VMware virtual infrastructure will enable customers to gain additional benefits from the goal-driven automation and management available in the Cassatt Collage platform.

The Cassatt Collage platform software provides service-level automation -- a way for IT departments to get the most from their virtualization efforts, while maintaining the service level agreements they have made for their applications. In conjunction with VMware virtual infrastructure, the Cassatt software handles load spikes and ensures applications run despite hardware failures, all without human intervention. Cassatt can help IT departments roll out new applications more quickly by making better use of the hardware and software organizations already have.

"We are excited to have Cassatt become a member of the VMware Technology Alliance Program," said Dan Chu, senior director of technology alliances and developer products for VMware. "The VMware Technology Alliance Program offers Cassatt the tools and resources they need to ensure the Cassatt Collage platform fully optimizes for VMware products and addresses the needs of our joint customers."

"VMware is the leader in virtual infrastructure software, and our customers have demanded that our products should be optimized for and support VMware virtual infrastructure," said Gamiel Gran, vice president of worldwide channels and alliances for Cassatt. "VMware virtual infrastructure provides many critical benefits to enterprise IT customers, including the ability to roll-out and manage new applications with lower platform costs. Working together, Cassatt and VMware can help customers use virtualization to control costs and increase agility in their data centers."

Network-Attached Memory: Virtualization for Java Environments

Network-attached memory is analogous to network-attached storage (NAS) in that it provides a service to thousands of connected clients transparently. As NAS is transparent underneath the file system, network-attached memory is transparent underneath the Java language. But in Terracotta’s network-attached memory pool, everything can be massively scaled out.

Cloud Computing and the Financial Crisis

A somewhat neglected aspect of the current financial crisis is the huge spike in trading volumes in recent days. In some cases, they have raised to more than double the average of the months (and years) that preceded the crisis. Systems, of course, don't care if stocks are going up or down; they just need to handle the transactions. Cloud computing can help ensure they meet this task.
