Cloudium Systems wins LEAP award for cloud-based IP

Set up three years ago, Cloudium Systems has won the ‘Best IP' award at the LEAP Business Awards 2011 for its innovative cloudAccel and cloudRDP research.

“The world of computing is making a paradigm shift from the personal computer to a ‘pervasive’ or ‘virtual’ desktop that can be accessed anywhere and anytime – a concept described in the increasingly-used term cloud computing,” said Cloudium Systems CEO, John Hickey, accepting the award.

The company

The company was founded by veterans of networking and virtualisation solutions, including Hickey. “We have a track record of creating new businesses and bringing new products to market based on technological innovations, currently holding 21 patents within the team,” he said.

The LEAP Business Awards 2011 were sponsored by the AIB Seed Capital Fund, Deloitte, Cruickshank, Limerick Institute of Innovation and the Discovery Partnership.

Richard O’Connor, Partner, Cruickshank Intellectual Property Attorneys noted that industry drivers and application trends evidently indicate a shift towards cloud computing and said it was glad to recognise Cloudium’s IP in this space.
