 A cost-effective,
service-oriented architecture for data-intensive computingThrough its innovative design,
awarded U.S. Patents, Base One has brought the distributed
processing power of cluster and grid computing out of the laboratory, into the
realm of mainstream business applications. Base One's highly
symmetrical, database-centric approach is unique and offers
substantial benefits, especially for businesses with a large
investment in existing applications and supporting infrastructure.
The most tangible benefits are increased
scalability, performance, and capacity,
but no less important are the high degree of reliability,
maintainability, and flexibility that can be achieved through the Base
One "virtual supercomputer" architecture.

| "Base One is emerging as a company offering a pragmatic, scalable, and extensible approach to the concept of resource
sharing... It has developed a flexible, modular approach that can be adapted to fit users’ evolving needs. At the same time, the company supports a host of different databases and computing platforms, so concerns or issues around customer technology preferences are inherently
addressed...
We found Base One’s story straightforward and broadly applicable to heavily compute-oriented and database-intensive workloads. In addition, the Base One solution is relatively mature and vetted with some very demanding users. For those reasons, we have chosen to spotlight the company in this first of a series of documents focusing on grid and virtualization
technologies..." |
"IDC believes that many industries beyond just financial services and science will recognize services within their organization that would benefit from grids. Data mining, real-time business analytics, and supply chain management workloads, among others, will likely emerge as "grid applications," opening the door for grids with other, more traditional commercial workloads and industries."
