Utilify Distributed Application Platform

The Utilify Platform is the first .NET-based distributed computing platform designed to scale from a single machine to a large cloud environment such as Amazon's EC2.

It offers developers a robust platform and an easy to learn and use Framework API, to rapidly develop (or adapt) distributed applications to run on a cloud infrastructure or even a local network of computers.

The Platform consists of the following components:

- a set of Executors - that run on cloud instances / nodes and execute application tasks

- the Manager - that also runs on the cloud and manages the network of Executors and distributes tasks to them

- the Management Dashboard - which is a tool that helps to monitor and manage the Utilify Platform

- Framework API - to help developers create distributed applications to run on the Platform

Benefits for developers:

- Simple and easy-to-use framework

- Abstracts away the hardest parts of building a distributed application (threading, synchronisation, resource allocation and failure management)

- Familiar tools and technology (built on top of the .NET Framework, developers can use Visual Studio)

- More time to focus on the core business requirements and logic of the application

- Single code-base that will scale from a single machine to a cloud environment
