GridGain Systems' Cloud Application Platform Advances Into Japan & China via Strategic

GridGain's innovative Cloud Application Platform facilitates the development of highly scalable distributed applications that work natively on any managed infrastructure - from an Android-device to a large grid and cloud environment. GridGain's platform is the first to deliver all three key technologies in an integrated product that natively supports Java and Scala programming languages:

"It is thoroughly essential to partner with a locally proven system integrator when entering Asian markets. Western companies can rarely, if ever, do it alone due to cultural and business differences," said Nikita Ivanov, CEO of GridGain Systems. "Fitech is not only one of Japan's top Java-based system integrators for mission-critical financial systems, however also comfortable with the range of technologies involved in a product like GridGain. From compute grids and data grids to cloud auto-scaling, zero provisioning and deployment, and Java and Scala programming languages, Fitech has extensive expertise that will serve both us and our customers so then."

Added Toshiyuki Matsushima, founder and CEO of Fitech Laboratories: "Our high-performance online trading products for financial institutions take full advantage of advanced distributed computing innovation. GridGain's product for commercial cloud infrastructures requires many of the same skill sets, so we will be leveraging our years of experience to support GridGain projects for cutting-edge high-performance distributed systems."
