IntaMission: IntaMission announces strategic partnership with SGI (Silicon Graphics, Inc.) and selects SGI Origin 3000 series as broadband server for next generation software platform Story Filed: Monday, March 12, 2001 7:13 AM EST LONDON, Mar 12, 2001 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- IntaMission is to partner with SGI (Silicon Graphics, Inc.) as a strategic hardware partner to power its revolutionary IntaSpaces platform. Both companies have signed a partnership agreement incorporating joint marketing activities and further technology development projects over the next 24 months. IntaMission's technology team, led by Nigel Warren, author of 'Java in Practice', has developed a powerful evolvable software technology, IntaSpaces, for a wide range of network-based infrastructure systems and service platforms. IntaSpaces enables the rapid creation of easily changeable, flexible software systems. It is highly scalable, supports industry standard transaction throughput, and is appropriate for commercial, robust mission critical systems. IntaMission's software tec hnology is simple and expressive, and introduces a new era of changeable software and service platforms. Changes can be made effortlessly to the underlying software infrastructure and service platform dynamically, whilst maintaining full service provision. A software engineer can familiarise himself with IntaSpaces in one sitting, while productivity gains are more than 15:1 compared with conventional distributed software technologies. Robustness is no longer a promise. Together with the NUMAflex TM technology of SGI Origin servers, IntaSpaces capitalises on the single shared-memory image that is available on the SGI Origin 3000 series, while at the same time benefiting from its large I/O performance. Most importantly, Irix's Java Virtual Machine provides the ability to run IntaSpaces native Java threads on a highly scalable platform. Commenting on the deal, IntaMission's President of Business Development, Jonathan Woolf said: "We're extremely excited about our strategic partnership with SGI. SGI has greatly assisted us over the last year, and the NUMAflexTM shared-memory architecture of the SGI Origin 3000 Series provides one of the most powerful and scalable platforms for our technology. Our partnership with SGI extends our reach further into the telecommunications, broadband and media markets, and provides a natural fit that will enable customers to quickly develop and deploy highly evolvable, available, robust systems on one of the most powerful server architectures available, giving them immediate competitive advantage." "This partnership brings together some of the world's most advanced hardware and software," commented Rob Morrison, EMEA Business Development Manager for SGI. "It has become essential to major corporations to be able to deploy and evolve major distributed systems far more easily than has been possible up until now. This agreement marks an important milestone for SGI, and we're extremely excited about the enormous productivity, performance, and scalability benefits that SGI and IntaMission customers will derive as a result of this agreement. We have a number of strategic projects that we are working on jointly with IntaMission which we will be announcing during the course of 2001."
