This partnership combines xkoto’s database virtualization technology with Triton’s more than 12 years of experience working with DB2 and other IBM information management products for a wide range of UK companies, said xkoto.

xkoto claims that the Gridscale database virtualization software manages multiple, identical databases to run on a cluster of systems with the same or better reliability and performance than more expensive, proprietary systems. Because Gridscale is an active-active solution, all the servers in the cluster are accessible, utilized, and can be dispersed geographically to mitigate disaster scenarios. In addition, systems continue to run to their full capability even when individual servers are taken offline for maintenance.

David Patrick, president and CEO of xkoto, said: With a first class team of fully qualified IBM consultants, Triton is able to provide a full range of services. Our partnership broadens the avenues of opportunity for xkoto in the UK market and the addition of Gridscale to the Triton portfolio further strengthens its position as one of the top consultants for HA and DR solutions.
