Breakthrough TransLattice Application Platform for Distributed Computing is Now Available

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TransLattice, the geographically distributed application company for enterprise, cloud and hybrid environments, today announced the availability of TransLattice Application Platform 2.0. This innovative solution is extraordinarily resilient and enables easy migration of enterprise applications to the cloud, all at a significantly lower cost than existing solutions.  The platform provides excellent performance, unrivaled scalability, and the ability to proactively manage data governance.

"Outages can cost enterprises as much as $5,000 a minute, and they can have an enormous impact on a company's reputation and brand," said Frank Huerta, CEO and co-founder of TransLattice. "We're looking forward to working with customers who are eager to take advantage of TransLattice Application Platform's high availability, elasticity and inherent ability to deploy applications in traditional and cloud environments."

Built on the groundbreaking Lattice Computing architecture, which enables globally distributed deployment of enterprise applications, TransLattice's offering demonstrates a dramatic departure from the centralized application stack model, which has become increasingly complicated, cumbersome and costly. Traditional installations use many layers of infrastructure, requiring significant integration work; this complexity makes it difficult to achieve high levels of availability. These centralized deployments are vulnerable to outages that can bring an organization's applications down for hours or even days. In contrast, the geographically distributed TransLattice Application Platform architecture ensures that organizations can deliver consistently available applications and data, leveraging resources either on-premises, in the cloud or both.

"Until now, application owners have been spending their resources for application availability on everything but the application. Fault tolerant hardware, redundant networks and auto-recovery processes can all help, but they seem to ignore the fundamental problems created by centralized applications," said Paul Burns, president of Neovise, an analyst firm focused on cloud computing. "TransLattice is changing all this by offering a breakthrough approach for distributing applications themselves. By putting application resiliency first, TransLattice lets application owners bypass expensive, specialized hardware while also achieving better performance, scale and data compliance."

Anne MacFarland of MacFarland Consulting added, "There have been a lot of semi-enterprise, somewhat-distributed computing initiatives in the last few years, but none have really addressed core enterprise applications with needs for transactional rigor. TransLattice's platform architecture has the potential to fundamentally change the economics of data and application access in what are often very expensive applications. This approach promises to improve an enterprise's global business agility and resiliency using a distributed deployment model and simple scalability."

At the heart of the TransLattice Application Platform is the world's first geographically distributed relational database, enabling resilient and scalable deployment of transactional applications while providing familiar ACID semantics. The database, application server, load balancing and storage are all tightly integrated and combined onto a node -- either a x86-based appliance or a cloud instance. Nodes may be deployed wherever an organization needs them around the world.  

The TransLattice Application Platform:

• Provides superior built-in resilience for Java applications due to the intelligent, distributed placement of data on multiple nodes. If a node failure occurs, the rest of the cluster is unaffected and users connected to the offline node will be automatically redirected to a working node.
• Intrinsically delivers elastic throughput and storage capacity, via horizontal scale-out of commodity servers and cloud instances. This reduces the costly over-provisioning of infrastructure and allows organizations to quickly scale to meet changing business requirements.
• Simplifies the migration of enterprise applications to cloud environments with no architectural changes required.
• Equips organizations to meet varied availability goals and data jurisdiction compliance requirements for both on-premises and cloud deployments through policy controls for redundancy and data location.
• Anticipates users' application needs and makes data available where and when it is needed, improving response time and productivity.
• Costs far less than traditional application infrastructure deployments, while offering superior resilience, greater elasticity and better performance for users.

Brad Buhr, CEO of IOMAXIS said, "Our customers expect their applications to be available when needed, and their operations can be seriously impacted by unexpected outages. With the TransLattice approach, if a node or location fails, users keep working while the system automatically restores redundancy. We're excited to be working with TransLattice because increased resilience against human, system and power failure is fundamental."
