Abod, president of Carahsoft. "Tangosol Coherence is an essential solution in delivering improved performance, scalability, and reliability to these massive applications."

Under the terms of the agreement, the GSA awarded Tangosol products onto the Carahsoft GSA schedule effective through November 2009.
