Advanced Visual Systems Selects Savvis for High
Performance Cloud Deployments
Advanced Visual Systems, a leader in the field of
high performance data visualization and integrated
analytics, has selected Savvis, a CenturyLink company,
as a preferred technology supplier of cloud hosting and
services. AVS frequently collaborates with its
enterprise and OEM clients in the design and development
of service-based analytical applications and solutions
that leverage its OpenViz data visualization system.
Many of these solutions are being migrated to the cloud
after years of traditional Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
or desktop deployment, or created from inception as
cloud-based initiatives.
In the recent rollout of an AVS client project that
involves remote storage of large data and sophisticated
in-memory analytics, Savvis' performance validated the
promise of the cloud to analytics-intense applications.
According to Anoop Chatterjee, CTO of Advanced Visual
Systems, "Savvis enables us to scale a parallel
application that can run 10 times faster than before in
terms of overall performance. They assisted our client
in the creation of a high-demand cloud solution through
Savvis' Symphony Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC) that
completely eliminates any requirement for AVS or the
client to think about hardware. The flexibility of
access to CPU compute, high performance input/output
processing time, network transport and extensive memory
resources gives us total freedom to design without
limitation and deploy with confidence."
OpenViz, a feature-rich and highly flexible application program interface, is distinguished in the corporate and research analytics sector through a broad range of options for the exploitation and display of data and exceptional performance, both of which are essential as the volume and complexity of data increases. AVS counts more than 2,000 global corporations, government agencies and research institutes as licensees of its data visualization software products, including 20 percent of the Fortune 100 and two of the five largest software companies.
