Tuesday March 30, 9:30 am ET
New York, NY, March 30, 2004 - GridApp Systems (www.gridapp.com) announced the release of its new product GlobalGrid™ that enables organizations to manage geographically diverse clusters from a single console. Wide area network (WAN) clusters simplify the secure management of large infrastructures and disaster recovery (DR) operations.
GridApp's core product offering, the D2500 database appliance, enables organizations to consolidate Oracle databases onto a single unified platform where system capacity can be shared across several databases. Through consolidation, companies can realize a 75% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) while improving database reliability, security and manageability.
GlobalGrid™ extends the consolidation functionality of the D2500 enabling the secure clustering of environments across the world over a wide area network (WAN). GlobalGrid's Management Console empowers customers to securely administer users, databases, storage, and network configurations across their entire global database infrastructure.
"Managing geographically dispersed clusters is a challenge faced by most large organizations. The cost of managing multiple data centers and disaster recovery sites is prohibitively high restricting the options available to IT managers." stated Shamoun Murtza, CTO of GridApp Systems. "With GlobalGrid™, GridApp has provided the enterprise customer with a powerful mechanism to manage an entire database infrastructure from a single console. The administration savings alone are astronomical."
GridApp Systems is a leader in database management and resource virtualization, leveraging grid and utility computing technologies to deliver high performing, flexible and cost-effective solutions to enterprises. GridApp Systems eliminates the complexity of RAC by providing a unified platform to manage multiple databases. GridApp Systems is privately held and headquartered in New York City.
