MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 14 – Elastic Intelligence, developer and marketer of the Connection Cloud, announced today it has concluded its beta stage with 2,000-plus companies using its groundbreaking PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) that enables instant access to virtual SaaS data.
Through key partner alliances, the Connection Cloud connects users to previously-siloed, SaaS data sources, allowing them to instantly combine and virtualize the information to create up-to-the-minute reports for sales and marketing analysis, financial reporting or other business intelligence insights.
Leading the Connection Cloud to this next level of success in 2013 is new CEO Ajay Singh, an enterprise software veteran with a stellar track record in accelerated growth. Singh is working with Elastic Intelligence founder and the Connection Cloud architect and CTO Roger Sippl to direct the company’s business strategy and to expand on the company’s strong foundation of key partner alliances.
“Our user adoption rate, particularly in the financial management market, tells us that they’re having trouble reporting on their SaaS data and the time is right for an easy, economical solution. During 2013 and beyond, we will aggressively expand our list of supported SaaS applications on the Connection Cloud, furthering our position as the only company in the marketplace that enables you to instantly connect your favorite reporting solution to your virtualized SaaS data sources at a highly-affordable subscription price,” said Connection Cloud CEO Ajay Singh.
Accelerated Growth
In just six months since product beta launch, Elastic Intelligence has established itself as a force in the virtual SaaS data marketplace by:

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
