Target Verticals

Enterprise

On premise Cloud Scale Computing:

• Operational Intelligence

• Content management

Off premise: SaaS

Software Built for the Cloud Grid Computing

Magnitude and elasticity of cloud offerings demand horizontal scaling

Operational scale dictates application level resilience

Distributed “task based” computing

Each task is a repeated stateless or “soft state” process

Enterprise and Public Sector

• Financial modeling

• Electronic design automation (EDA)

• Scientific simulations
