Demonstrating unmatched technology leadership, DataSynapse, Inc., the fastest-growing provider of grid computing software, today announced that its enterprise grid offering has been awarded top honors by Software Business Magazine's 2004 Software Industry Awards committee. DataSynapse earned the award for Best Technology based on its GridServer software and GRIDesign offering, a patent-pending methodology that helps companies determine how to successfully deploy an on demand application infrastructure. DataSynapse was presented with the honor last week at the Software Business 2004 technology conference held in San Francisco.

"We are proud to present DataSynapse with the award for Best Technology," said John G. Cargile, managing editor of Software Business. "Distinguishing its technology, strategies and brand, DataSynapse has displayed industry-wide leadership with its grid computing initiatives and products." DataSynapse's grid computing offering includes the company's GridServer software and GRIDesign methodology. GridServer enables organizations to implement a next generation application infrastructure that optimizes performance and delivers substantial quality of service for radically lower cost. With support for batch, object-oriented, transactional and web services applications, GridServer dynamically distributes workload across a grid of shared, heterogeneous resources. To accelerate enterprise adoption of grid technology, the company pioneered its GRIDesign methodology, which provides customers with a customized, forensic understanding of the benefits they can achieve through the implementation of an on demand application infrastructure. "Leading organizations in the financial services, industrial, energy and government sectors depend on DataSynapse to grid-enable their core business applications," said Peter Y. Lee, DataSynapse co-founder and CEO.
