Tsunami Research Raises $2.7 Million Extension To Series A Round (Subscribers Only)

Dow Jones VentureWire, December 2, 2004

"Tsunami's flagship software -- HiveCreator -- enables networks of commodity-grade computers to host service-oriented and transactional applications. "We're really about enabling the application to be fault tolerant regardless of what might happen to the underlying infrastructure""

Building an Intelligent IT Infrastructure

Intelligent Enterprise Magazine, December 2004

The inherent shortfalls of first-generation approaches have motivated the emergence of a second generation. An important example is "hive" computing, where the underlying infrastructure becomes part of a software-managed fabric. The fabric appears to developers, administrators, and users as a single system, independent of the physical hardware configuration.

So Long Servers: Tsunami Research wins 2004 Technology Award

St. Louis Business Journal, April 16, 2004

"Because a hive is built with inexpensive computers, companies can reduce the costs associated with new applications to about 10 percent of the costs associated with traditional, so-called "big iron" architectures."

Hive Means Business

InformationWeek, April 12, 2004

"Like grid computing, hive computing leverages a collection of commodity hardware. Unlike grid computing, hive is meant for business- style applications, such as transaction processing and database access. Tsunami boldly claims its technology can lower acquisition costs by 90% and software development and maintenance costs by 50%. "

The Buzz Factor

Optimize, April 1, 2004

"Looking for the next big thing? DARPA, the Department of Defense research organization, recently named hive computing one of the hottest research areas in IT. "

Tsunami Debuts HiveCreator Clustering for Linux

Computer Business Review, March 16, 2004

"A hive is comprised of what amounts to an uber-OS layer that rides on top of servers and allocates work to all machines in the cluster. The interesting bit about a hive - and this is something which all financial systems and fault-tolerant networks have and which most HPC-style Linux clusters do not - is that it has a sense of time."

Tsunami Research Creates a Buzz

GridComputingPlanet.com, January 13, 2004

"Tsunami Research's products bring the power of commodity-based Grids to address transaction-based applications through their Hive Computing technology. A Hive becomes another resource on the Grid, as would a cluster, SMP machine or desktop. It's a great complement to Grid computing."

St. Louis Business Journal, January 9, 2004

"Bob Lozano has closed on $2.3 million in financing for Tsunami Research Inc., the software company he founded in September 2001 that is pioneering Hive Computing."

Tsunami Research Combines P2P with Transaction Processing on Self-Managing Clusters (Subscribers Only)

the451, February 25, 2003

"Tsunami's technology enables cheap hardware to be used to create self-organizing, self-managing, and self-healing networks, cutting implementation and running costs over traditional hardware- and OS-based fault-tolerant systems."

Hardware Hangover

IEEE Spectrum Magazine, January 2003

"One start-up company looking to exploit the power of blade clusters is Tsunami Research Inc. (St. Louis, Mo.). Its Hive computing software hooks up several cheap blade servers of the sort Dell sells and makes them appear as one machine, a technique known as virtualization."

Lozano Launches Software Firm That Promotes Hives

St. Louis Business Journal, May 17, 2002

"When Lozano set out to develop Hives, he had four main characteristics he wanted the technology to deliver: It had to be scalable, or capable of growing to hundreds of thousands of processing elements; available, with no reason for the system to ever fail; low maintenance; and fast. And with the cost being one-tenth the price of traditional server technology, Hives could be considered revolutionary."
