TransLattice Appoints David Roberson, Seasoned Executive, to Board of Directors

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TransLattice, the distributed application and cloud computing company, today announced the appointment of David Roberson to its board of directors. TransLattice's unique ability to decentralize enterprise computing resources allows large applications and associated databases to be spread across inexpensive appliances and cloud instances, rather than provisioned centrally on expensive, specialized architectures.

"As TransLattice prepares for increasing brand recognition and rapid growth across a variety of global markets, we are delighted to welcome David Roberson to the TransLattice board," said Frank Huerta, CEO and co-founder of TransLattice.
