The positive vibe surrounding xkoto and GRIDSCALE continues into the first quarter of 2009. Last week Gartner named xkoto a “cool vendor” in its March 11 report, “Cool Vendors in IT Operations and Virtualization, 2009.” We are pleased to be recognized by Gartner as a vendor that can help organizations solve key business challenges with interesting and innovative technologies.For more information, read our press release. This is another great honor for the company after InformationWeek named us “Startup of the Year.”
We continue to see a great deal of interest in GRIDSCALE and its ability to eliminate downtime for business-critical applications. In fact, today we announced another new customer, BNSF Railway Company, which operates one of the largest North American rail networks with 32,000 route miles in 28 states and two Canadian provinces. BNSF chose GRIDSCALE to provide continuous availability and scalability for the company’s most critical DB2 applications. For more information, read our press release.
GRIDSCALE is also gaining momentum for organizations using SQL Server. Read about GRIDSCALE at sswug.org and sqlblog.com.
