Print PageCompany Honored for Cutting-Edge Application Virtualization Project with DataSynapse Technology
NEW YORK · November 14, 2006 · DataSynapse, a global provider of application virtualization software, today announced that its customer, Wachovia, was named to IDG's InfoWorld 100 for its highly successful, innovative application virtualization project. The annual distinction honors the most creative use of cutting-edge technologies to further business goals. Wachovia worked with DataSynapse to virtualize its most critical transactional applications as part of a multi-phase, multi-year initiative for continuous process improvement.
To be considered for the InfoWorld 100, projects must stretch beyond the typical, off-the-shelf solution and use technologies in innovative ways to serve business goals. Wachovia's Corporate and Investment Bank division partnered with DataSynapse to virtualize legacy, third-party and service-oriented applications, adaptively provisioning them across a shared infrastructure. By implementing DataSynapse GridServer® and FabricServer™, Wachovia has created a service infrastructure that delivers processing power to applications on demand, improving performance and quality of service to the business.
"It's been said that fortune favors the bold. The inspiration for this year's finalists to tackle such sweeping changes varies widely — from reducing delivery time of products and services to replacing cumbersome legacy systems," said Richard Gincel, senior editor at InfoWorld. "But regardless of the motivation, high ambition unites them all."
As a result of the project, Wachovia experienced business opportunities, major performance gains, better report turnaround time and greater trading volume and simulation — all while optimizing existing IT resources. Aside from impressive ROI, the project added new business capabilities. DataSynapse enabled Wachovia to achieve operational cost savings, while improving growth efficiency, resulting in a five-fold improvement in application responsiveness and a 50 percent increase in throughput.
"DataSynapse is extremely excited to join InfoWorld in recognizing Wachovia's implementation – lauded by the industry for being one of the first projects to prove the dramatic business benefits resulting from application virtualization," said Kelly Vizzini, CMO of DataSynapse. "Wachovia continues to garner industry recognition for its vision of delivering IT as a utility that drives measurable business benefit. We're thrilled to be part of their success."
