Its products and services help meet the investment, protection, retirement and lifestyle needs of over 15 million customers.

"Genworth considered IBM's High availability disaster recovery (HADR), queue based replication, and Avokia ApLive, but selected GRIDSCALE from xkoto because it allows us to use low-cost hardware, maintain application uptime, scale with increasing user load and replicate to our disaster recovery site. It also enables flexibility with job execution and backup processes that is not possible with base DB2. The tangible benefits our organization has received from the deployment GRIDSCALE mirror the reasons the product was chosen."

InGrid was founded in 2004 to provide a new class of broadband-integrated Digital Home Security services for the residential and small business security market, principally through major broadband providers.

"When your business is Digital Home Protection, you have to deliver 24x7, without fail period. Yet when building out our data center, we found that traditional availability solutions from other database vendors like clustering and data replication had serious shortcomings. In fact, we needed more than high availability; we needed continuous availability, which is why we chose xkoto's GRIDSCALE and IBM's DB2 database to meet our business requirements."
Drew DeNardo, Services Program Manager, InGrid Systems

OmniSYS, LLC. is a provider of systems and services to pharmacies, health plans and other organizations that use healthcare claim processing services. OmniSYS provides pharmacies with a suite of central-site service offerings that bridge disparate coding and billing methodologies. Our services allow pharmacies to bill Medicare, Medicaid and other third party payers without being limited by the pharmacy's existing technology.

"Because OmniSYS works with more than 27,000 pharmacies, coordinating a downtime period for maintenance had proven nearly impossible. This fact, combined with such strict industry regulations, created a situation where we needed a 24x7 data management infrastructure, and we needed it quickly. GRIDSCALE matches our needs perfectly. The active/active host is very important for 24x7 availability requirement. The solution enabled us to connect our operating systems and hardware between locations, while also allowing us to keep our databases online, even during scheduled maintenance. GRIDSCALE really has everything we need in one comprehensive solution."
Richard Bays, VP of Information Technology, OmniSYS
