Palo Alto, CA, Tuesday, February 15, 2005 — GridApp Systems has successfully completed a major project for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs migrating critical data to its HIPAA compliant and secured database infrastructure management platform. This project will protect the privacy of patient data as well as provide improved manageability, scalability and security to the VA's database infrastructure.

GridApp Systems is an expert in deploying and administering Oracle databases, including Oracle's Real Application Cluster (RAC) on both 9i and 10g. GridApp's database virtualization software enables organizations to consolidate databases onto a single secured platform where capacity can be shared across several instances. Through consolidation companies can realize a 75% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) while improving database reliability, security and manageability.

"GridApp Systems' solutions are perfect for health care and government organizations that are looking to consolidate database systems and improve overall data security", stated Robert Gardos, CEO of GridApp Systems. "We are happy our platform provided one of the largest medical systems in the world with a HIPAA compliant foundation that improves access to data while strictly enforcing the rules that govern patient privacy."

GridApp Systems is a leader in database infrastructure management leveraging grid and utility computing technologies to deliver high performing, flexible and cost-effective solutions to enterprises. GridApp eliminates the complexity of RAC providing a unified platform to manage multiple databases. GridApp Systems is privately held and headquartered in New York City.
