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.
