Our company was founded in Feb 2000 and is one of
the leading commercial Grid middleware companies in
the world. We are based in beautiful Mallorca, Spain,
and we employ around 20 people. We are very proud
of our proven grid product, Fura Enterprise Edition,
and of our blue-chip customer
base. Our company’s software is operating on
thousands of servers in dozens of companies of varied
sectors. We believe that we have a world class R&D team.
We are a profitable company that has been built without
significant venture backing (IT Deusto, Caixanova and
AFI are the most significant minority investors in the
company). We are proud of our strong R&D focus,
and we work with partners and
systems integrators to distribute our products to customers
worldwide. We are an active participant in several
European and national R&D
projects which command over 150 million of euros in
total funding. In 2003, we were awarded the prestigious
IST prize. In 2004 we received the Computerworld prize
for enterpreneurship of the year and in 2005 the IGC (Internet
Global Conference) prize for Innovation. In 2007, Prof. Joan Masso, founder and CEO of GridSystems, received the special "20x20" prize of the financial newspaper "Expansion" for being one of the top 20 innovators of the last 20 years.
In 2007, we have committed to an open-source
business model that also provides professional subscription
support services to our customers, with a dual licensing
model to enable third party propietary licensing and
other commercial models. |
