01/Apr/2006
Majitek, today announced that it has been included in the Gartner list of "Cool Vendors for Platform Middleware 2006".
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, April 01, 2006 – Grid Application Platform company, Majitek, today announced that it has been included in the list of "Cool Vendors for Platform Middleware 2006".
The Gartner Report indicated that the number of new business-critical applications is rising and that the overwhelming majority of new applications are deployed on .NET and J2EE platforms. But emerging requirements for "extreme" availability, scalability, performance and greater developer productivity are creating opportunities for new grid-application server products provided by vendors such as Majitek.
"Majitek is extremely pleased to be recognised for its innovation in the platform middleware space", said Rob Cumming, Director of Strategy and Marketing, "we expect to see a growing shift towards grid based application platforms as more and more enterprises look to scale their applications without the cost and complexity associated with traditional technologies."
Majitek GridSystem provides a next generation run-time environment for Dynamic SOA applications, enabling a single virtualised application layer to operate on a grid of commodity server infrastructure. GridSystem provides a single point from which administrators can manage an array of applications with a rich suite of tools for real-time dynamic configuration, deployment, upgrade and scaling of applications and infrastructure with zero downtime. GridSystem's non-invasive API provides developers the ability to write services as simple Plain Old Java Object (POJO) software.
