SANTA CLARA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2015 / As companies like Intel and Google received headlines, less well-known, yet successful, Silicon Valley companies have played fundamental roles in shaping computing directions. One of these successes, Runtime Design Automation (RTDA), has just celebrated a major milestone having reached its 20th anniversary this May.
RTDA released its first resource management software products in the mid-nineties, including FlowTracerTM, which transforms complex processing tasks into more easily understood and managed work flows, and the aptly named NetworkComputerTM, which views and manages all networked computers as a single system. This processing and management control allowed organizations to move away from expensive mainframe and minicomputer systems and deploy more cost effective distributed computing infrastructure. The distributed model became widely used as enterprises deployed large clusters and grids which, in turn, led to the emerging private and public clouds. Today, the use of this computing model is pervasive; the latest "Top500 list" shows that 92% of the world's most powerful computer systems are based on this architecture.
A proclaimed "reluctant entrepreneur," RTDA Founder and CEO, Dr. Andrea Casotto, commented on the 20th anniversary stating, "We are extremely proud to mark this important milestone. Twenty years ago we envisioned that distributed computing could rapidly evolve, but only if very efficient solutions were developed that could precisely assign and manage processing tasks across the enterprise. We are very pleased to have played a role in this evolution."
This profound evolution has sped innovation. Important science like the genome mapping project was, in part, made possible by the distributed computing model, and activities ranging from weather forecasting to aircraft design to financial risk management have also realized benefits. From a business standpoint, in 2013 the Arthur D. Little management consulting firm studied the profit impact of improved innovation times and found that new product break-even points could be achieved 30% sooner through related time to market reductions. Other studies indicate that getting products released 25% sooner can lead to a doubling of revenue in the first 2 years following a product's release.
The distributed computing model, combined with products like RTDA's resource management solutions, enable users to process work more efficiently which reduces 'time-to-answer' and shortens product release dates. These gains allow companies to innovate at a faster rate and thereby realize higher profits. "For twenty years our solutions have helped our customers, including many of our neighbors in Silicon Valley, get new products to market faster which pleases us greatly," Dr. Casotto added.
Today, RTDA's product suite includes FlowTracerTM, software that transforms complex workflows into more reliable, easily managed and visualized components, NetworkComputerTM, the lowest latency solution available for distributing processing tasks across clusters and clouds, and LicenseMonitorTM and LicenseAllocatorTM, which ensure more cost effective utilization of valuable software licenses.
