Translattice Unveils Groundbreaking Distributed Application Platform for Enterprise and Cloud Computing

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Translattice, the resilient, distributed application company, today announced the Translattice Application Platform, transforming IT infrastructure to deliver dramatically improved transactional applications in both enterprise and cloud environments. This groundbreaking, elastic approach provides high performance to global and mobile workers at significantly lower cost.

Translattice represents a dramatic shift from the traditional application deployment model, which has become increasingly complicated and expensive. Traditional installations use many layers of infrastructure, and this intricacy makes it difficult to achieve high levels of availability and often precludes utilization of the cloud. Frequently, these deployments are centralized which can result in poor performance for remote users. In contrast, the geographically distributed Translattice Application Platform enables organizations to deliver consistently available applications that leverage resources in the cloud, while improving performance and reducing cost.

The Translattice Application Platform forms a cluster from identical nodes that cooperate to run enterprise applications. Each node contains the fundamental components required in application deployments, including load balancing, application runtimes and storage. At the core of the platform is the world's first globally distributed relational database, enabling resilient and scalable deployment of transactional applications. Nodes throughout an organization, whether on-premise, in the cloud, or both, are aggregated so that administrators and users see one unified system.

The Translattice Application Platform:

• Provides inherent resilience for applications due to an intelligent, distributed architecture. If a failure occurs, users will be only momentarily affected because they are automatically redirected to a working node and all data is redundantly stored on multiple nodes. Policy controls for redundancy and data location equip organizations to meet compliance and availability requirements for both on-premise and cloud deployments.
• Intrinsically delivers elastic throughput and storage capacity, reducing the need to overprovision infrastructure and allowing organizations to quickly scale to meet changing business requirements. Capacity may be increased by simply adding either physical nodes or cloud instances to the cluster.
• Anticipates workers' application needs based on past usage and places data closer to users when and where it is needed, geographically matching dispersed workers with the data they need and improving response time.
• Costs far less than traditional application infrastructures, while offering better performance for remote users, greater elasticity and superior resilience.

Supporting Quotes:

• Frank Huerta, CEO and co-founder of Translattice, said: "Customers, partners and suppliers expect systems to be available as needed and businesses can suffer enormous losses if those systems have unexpected outages. Outage costs depend on the type and size of the organization, but enterprises can lose well over $100,000 for every hour of system downtime. With Translattice, resilience against facility, system and disk failure is fundamental to the architecture. Because the data is stored redundantly across the nodes, if a node or location fails, users continue their work while the system automatically rebuilds redundancy."
• Anne MacFarland, senior contributing analyst of The Clipper Group, Inc., technology acquisition consultants and Internet publisher, said: "As organizations leverage workforce mobility, business efficiencies increase - but applications and data are subject to more sources of risk, inadequacy and outages. The Translattice Application Platform offers a fresh approach that leverages the economics of appliances and clouds, as well as policies and autonomics that drastically prune administrative tasks, to change the economics of data and application access. A collaborative, distributed lattice of data and database management supports the scalability, resilience and security that allow organizations to aggressively pursue business agility, regardless of their organizational topography. Translattice's approach is a comprehensive architecture that will be of considerable interest to global organizations and to industries, such as healthcare, that by their nature require security, ubiquitous access and inherent resilience in wide-spread data operations."
