C-DAC Trivandrum to deploy Satyam's grid computing tech

Satyam Computer Services Limited has announced that it has developed the grid computing technology solution in its business solutions lab, Futurus, to be deployed at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Trivandrum.

The technology will render support to the Resource Centre for Cyber Forensics (RCCF) at C-DAC.

The RCCF at C-DAC, engaged in research and development in cyber forensics, was looking for a solution to reduce the time required to crack encrypted files and sensitive data in its drive against cyber crime.

The company's grid-enabled prototype in the area of forensics is 40 times faster than the existing application, which ran on a stand-alone server. The run time of the application has come down from 3.5 days on the stand-alone server to 1 hour 56 minutes on a grid of 50 nodes, with savings of more than 4,000 per cent.
