GridCentric receives funding from the Rogers Venture Group

On September 2nd GridCentric Inc, a Toronto-based startup developing a platform for the provisioning and management of High Performance Compute (HPC) clusters using virtualization, closed a seed round of financing with the Rogers Venture Group (http://rogersventures.ca).

GridCentric was founded in early 2009 by Andres Lagar-Cavilla, Adin Scannell, and Tim Smith. GridCentric's platform is based on technology that enables stateful cloning of a running virtual machine to dozens of physical hosts in less than a second.

Mike Lee, Rogers Communications' Chief Strategy Officer, has joined Adin Scannell and Tim Smith on GridCentric's Board of Directors.

  1. Incredibly awesome! Congratulations!! I'm really really happy and excited for you guys :))

    Your idea has a great potential for insane growth and who knows.. maybe in a year or two you'll get an insane offer from VMWare... or perhaps, you might be the ones making a counter-offer to them ;)

    I guess hard work and dedication *does* pay off!
