Lets Users Build State-of-the-Art Data Warehousing and
Decision Support Applications on a Single Scalable Server
Torrent Systems, Inc., today announced the availability of Orchestrate on Sun Microsystems
"The introduction of Torrent's Orchestrate Application Environment on Sun SMP servers will enable Sun customers, systems integration partners, and ISV partners to cost effectively build and manage robust scalable software systems," said Rod Tansimore, data warehousing manager for Sun Microsystems Computer Company. "I am pleased that the two companies are working together to bring our customers the benefits of Torrent s expertise in the efficient use of parallel computers."
Orchestrate Leverages Parallel Computing
Torrent's Orchestrate is designed for building, deploying and managing scalable data processing systems for applications such as data warehousing, data mining and batch-oriented data processing systems. Orchestrate manages the complexities of building and executing a parallel program. Orchestrate also enables users to parallelize existing sequential tools and applications without programming the SMP system at a low level. In addition, any SMP software developed using Orchestrate will run in SMP cluster environments when Torrent extends its Sun SMP support later this year.
"Orchestrate makes it possible to build new software systems for enterprise-critical applications such as multi-terabyte data warehouses and data mining systems, in addition to making it possible for users to parallelize existing tools and applications," said Allen Razdow, president and CEO of Torrent Systems. "Orchestrate is designed to let customers tap into the combined benefits of the two companies' products."
