ITGAIN has signed a reseller agreement with the Canadian enterprise software company XKOTO Inc. ITGAIN will bundle the DB2 high availability solution GRIDSCALE together with its existing DB2 management software for the German, European and American markets. "With GRIDSCALE from XKOTO, DB2 is the technological leader for high availability applications. GRIDSCALE provides a true active/active solution without depending on resource sharing," explains Thomas Kalb, ITGAIN's Managing Director for DB2 consulting and product development. "GRIDSCALE is, therefore, significantly superior to existing solutions such as Oracle's RAC."
"By working together with ITGAIN, we now have a presence in the important German language markets. With ITGAIN we have found a partner with not only extraordinary DB2 experience, who is positioned to open our product to wider markets, but a partner that can also offer our clients a complete GRIDSCALE-based solution. We are excited about and look forward to working together with ITGAIN," said Albert Lee, CEO of XKOTO. Per Stricker, Managing Director of Sales for ITGAIN, added, "Our shared passion to innovate and develop cutting edge DB2 products makes this an ideal partnership. GRIDSCALE is the perfect addition to SPEEDGAIN, our DB2 performance monitor."
