Hazelcast Forms Commercial Partnership with STA Group
STA Group to target insurance, healthcare and financial services sectors with leading open source in-memory data grid
Palo Alto, Calif., June 6, 2016 – Hazelcast®, a leading provider of operational in-memory computing with tens of thousands of installed clusters and over 16 million server starts per month, today announced a commercial partnership with STA Group, a business and technology consultancy which serves the insurance, healthcare and financial service sectors. The two companies will be joining forces at the Chicago Coder Conference, June 6-8, 2016, as Silver sponsors. At the show Hazelcast’s Terry Walters, Senior Solutions Architect, will be presenting on “Distributed Caching with JCache and Beyond” on June 7, 15.45 – 16.45.
STA Group provides a wide range of technology services including software development, state of the art tools and techniques, and expert consulting. It has over 160 consultants working across four main practice areas: technology services, architecture, IoT and digital. Under the agreement, STA Group, a certified Hazelcast supplier, is able to offer both new and existing customers in-depth consultancy and access to Hazelcast 3.6 – an open source in-memory computing platform developed for application speed, resilience, and scale.
Terry Trippany, Senior Architect/Manager at STA Group, said: “As a performance engineer I would recommend Hazelcast for enterprise applications that require low latency and high throughput. For applications with voluminous in-memory data demands, Hazelcast provides a scalable, fault tolerant solution that is elastic and not bound by the limitations of the JVM and the impact of garbage collection.”
STA Group has extensive open source experience, with many of its consultants acting as a buffer between the community and the commercial world. Working with Hazelcast, STA Group will deliver tailored solutions which incorporate frameworks and tools that are commercially viable due to established community support and enhancement.
Trippany continued: “Hazelcast is an elegant open source solution that is highly configurable. As such it can meet the demands of architectures where caching, scalability, performance, data sharing, redundancy and fault tolerance are essential.”
David Greenfield, Senior Architect at STA Group, said: “Hazelcast reduces the need for complex configuration, it just works. We’ve tried other distributed in-memory data grids but we found Hazelcast cluster deployments are simpler and more scalable and the performance is better.”
“Hazelcast is working with STA Group as we like to engage with like-minded organizations, which focus on thought leadership and high value technological insights,” said Greg Luck, CEO of Hazelcast. “Hazelcast is proven to solve performance and scalability issues for institutions in the financial services sector and it’s easy to use and deploy.”
