Yes, I’m going back to New York again next week.  Digipede Director of Products Dan Ciruli and I will give a presentation and demonstration entitled “Scaling SOA with Grid Computing for .NET.”  SOA here is Service Oriented Architecture, an area of increased activity for us.  Here’s the abstract we wrote for our session: Presenters:  John […]

Marc at Magmasystems relates his findings from a recent trip to London, where he says: Got together with some ex-colleagues, who were marvelling at the Lodnon consulting market. The hot areas are Grid Computing, with the prevelant stack being DataSynapse and Tangasol. Also demand is picking up for WPF, with Morgan Stanley leading the way. […]

I know, I usually write about partnering with Microsoft — but it’s time to give our other 800-lb gorilla partner some kudos.  More and more folks at HP are apparently convinced they’re going to sell a LOT more Windows CCS clusters by working with Digipede — and we agree. First, we have an upcoming event in Bellevue, WA […]

I went to New York again this week to see customers, prospects, partners, and so on.  But it pays to keep your plans flexible — because while I was there, a friend got me an invitation to a reception at Club 21 on Tuesday evening with a bunch of financial services executives and Steve Ballmer.  Earlier in […]

I found this old draft from the end of the Supercomputing conference (almost two weeks ago).  Sorry to be slow, but here you go. I’m NOT an old-time supercomputer guy, and I therefore have NOT been to every SCxy show (as the Supercomputing show refers to its various annual incarnations).  Indeed, my first show was SC03, in […]

The annual Supercomputing conference (SC06) is in Tampa, Florida next week.  Actually, it starts this weekend and runs for a ridiculous seven days, but Dan and I will be there Monday night through Thursday afternoon — which will be plenty.  SC is a “must attend” show in the high performance computing / grid computing / […]

OK, here’s where I get to tell the real story about the new release the Digipede Network that I could not fit into the somewhat restrictive form of a press release earlier this month.  For the facts, you can go see “what’s new.”  But for the STORY, well, read on.  First, let’s go deep into […]

OK, I promise to stop posting about the WWPC soon, but it was a very productive event for us. In addition to the many sessions I’ve already described, I had a chance to sit down with Darryl Taft of eWeek.  While he was in Boston covering the Microsoft event, he took the time to interview […]
