Network World Names DataSynapse FabricServer in its "10 Best Products for Next-Gen Network Infrastructures"

February 23, 2007; 05:13 AM
DataSynapse, Inc., the global provider of application virtualization software, today announced that FabricServer has been selected by Network World as one of the 10 best products for next-generation network infrastructure.

Network World editors characterize the “New Data Center” as the next-generation infrastructure – automated and virtualized, flexible and modular and knowing no perimeters. In the Feb. 19 issue, the magazine’s editors look at the latest technologies, and with this in mind, chose ten “innovative and enterprise-shifting products” for building the “New Data Center.”

Noted for being “all about matching processing needs to computing resources on the fly,” DataSynapse FabricServer received high praise for virtualizing applications. “The software provides a control layer that acts as a broker between applications and their computing resources, essentially virtualizing applications so they can be processed by the best available resource.”

Wachovia Bank, a financial services firm in Charlotte, N.C., is leveraging FabricServer to virtualize its Java applications across the enterprise and to broker computing supply and demand, ensuring that each job is performed by the best resource. “If I have memory-, CPU- or I/O-intensive stuff, but I know I have a better machine over here that could run it faster than what it’s on, I can just allocate it there, since I’m virtualizing the demand and matching it up,” said Tony Bishop, director of product management at Wachovia. “FabricServer understands that a service can change its size and shape at different times of the day, week or month, and adjust for that.”

“Business demand is increasingly dynamic and IT must be able to respond in a manner that is just as dynamic – FabricServer easily shifts resources and applications adaptively to meet this ever-changing demand,” said Peter Lee, CEO and co-founder of DataSynapse. “We are truly honored to be recognized by Network World as a technology leader providing virtualization for the real-time enterprise.”
