Tangosol: A Cool Company with a Rock-Star President

Tangosol rocks and Cameron stars

Mar. 12, 2007 09:00 AM

Tangosol, a data grid solutions provider was evaluated by Gartner as a distributed computing vendor, and was included in the report "Cool Vendors in Integrations and Platforms, 2007". Tangosol offers very interesting distributed caching solutions for enterprises that need speed and reliability.

In addition to this award, Cameron Purdy, Tangosol's founder has been included in the list of rock-star speakers of JavaOne 2006 conference. Well deserved, Cameron.

And now a little bit of insider's information - Tangosol is famous for throwing the best vendor's JavaOne party. I hope Cameron will do it again in May during JavaOne 2007. Try to get yourself on the invitees list - you'll meet lots of Java celebrities there.

Congratulation to Cameron Purdy and to Tangosol!
