Appistry, the pioneer and leading provider of application fabric software, today announced that its flagship product, Appistry Enterprise Application Fabric, has been selected as a finalist in the 22nd Annual CODiE Awards competition. Appistry EAF was selected in the highly competitive “Best Distributed Computing Solution” category, which recognizes outstanding network-based computing solutions, encompassing technologies such as: P2P; distributed, utility and grid computing; and dynamic provisioning. “We are very proud to be chosen as a finalist among such respected competition,” said Kevin Haar, Appistry chief executive officer. “This achievement further validates Appistry’s compelling ‘scale-out’ virtualization approach, which enables enterprises to dramatically simplify the task of deploying and managing highly scalable applications on commodity infrastructure.” Each year the CODiE Awards, sponsored by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), recognizes the “best-of-the-best” in the software, digital content, and education technology industries. This year, Appistry EAF was chosen from over 1,000 products by a rigorous judging panel including software and information industry writers, analysts, consultants and subject-matter experts. “The 2007 CODiE Finalists represent real winners, even at this stage of the contest,” said Ken Wasch, SIIA President. “Competition is fiercer than ever and that makes selection as a CODiE Finalist a major achievement. All the companies on this year’s list should feel justifiably proud of their recognition.” Appistry EAF allows customers to quickly, easily and cost-effectively deploy large-scale applications across a virtualized “grid” of commodity-grade computers. Appistry EAF creates a “scale without fail” environment that provides scalability, dependability and manageability for the applications that run within it, insulating them from the underlying hardware and its frailties.
