ActiveEon and ProActive have made significant progress in their developments and we’ve celebrated ActiveEon’s Second year on November the 5th, 2009. We are happy to share with you some great news:

• A new release: ProActive Parallel Suite 4.2 featuring a new
  organization for an even better flexibility:  Programming, Scheduling, Resourcing
• A new set of Product Sheets, Data Sheets, and Brochures
• A new Website
• Strategic relationships with Microsoft and NVIDIA
• Many upcoming events: SC09,…

ActiveEon will be exhibiting at the Supercomputing Conference (SC09–Portland, Oregon, Nov. 14-20) in BOOTH# 1405 (INRIA, ActiveEon Born of INRIA). Come and visit us to view a demonstration of ProActive Parallel Suite and learn more about ActiveEon’s solutions for Life Science and Financial. Christian Delbé, ActiveEon’s Technical Director, will be on stage at Microsoft’s BOOTH theater #1135 for November 18, 3:45 – 4:05 pm to demonstrate how we can Accelerate on Windows Desktops, HPCS and Clouds with ProActive.
Presentations and demonstrations on booth will feature many stunning use cases and benchmarks, including:

• Large Scale Processing of Genomic Sequencing on Desktops and Clusters
• HPCS Acceleration of Financial Valuations executed directly from Excel
• GPU deployment on NVIDIA cards

You explained to us that “cost-control” is not the only reason why you choose ProActive, but that the real trigger is powerful application acceleration plus the seamless scale from Workstation to Cluster over the cost-savings. ProActive Programming makes it more than ever easier to accelerate Java applications with new File and Data Management. ProActive Scheduling and Resourcing make Enterprise Grid and Private Cloud more accessible to end users. It allows to seamlessly harness the power of distributed computing through desktops environment to any set of resources, including servers and clusters, and all the way up to on-demand Public Cloud. ProActive provides it all for you without requiring specialized skills or training.

I look forward to meeting you next week at SC09.
