Scalability and availability benefits delivered by GRIDSCALE will enable one of
the UK`s top online gaming companies to meet growing demands of expanding
customer base
BERLIN & WALTHAM, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
xkoto (www.xkoto.com), the database virtualization company, today announced that
the Gamesys Group has chosen GRIDSCALE to deliver significantly improved levels
of scalability, availability and disaster recovery for its online gaming
business, one of the largest in the United Kingdom.

Having handled more than £1 billion of cash bets in 2008 alone, Gamesys is one
of the fastest growing businesses in the UK`s e-gaming sector. The company will
use GRIDSCALE to expand the capacity of its DB2 environment, allowing it to more
easily meet its rapid growth demands, including expansion into new countries
across Europe. In addition, the continuous availability delivered by GRIDSCALE
will assure the best experience for Gamesys` online gaming customers. Finally,
the company plans to employ GRIDSCALE as its main disaster recovery solution.
Gamesys chose GRIDSCALE due to its ability to expand database capacity based on
user demand and to eliminate waste associated with traditional active-passive
clustering alternatives.

"We started looking at GRIDSCALE about a year ago and found that it was the only
solution on the market that met our requirements for scalability and
availability," said Tom Hillary, Chief Technical Officer at Gamesys Group. "We
expect GRIDSCALE will enable us to build our business in a more cost-effective
way, and will allow us to deliver the highest quality experience to our online
gaming customers."

GRIDSCALE uses active/active technology to virtualize relational databases,
enabling businesses to distribute application load across multiple instances of
commercial databases running on clusters of low-cost hardware, mid-range systems
and virtual machines. With GRIDSCALE, businesses can improve application
performance and achieve continuous availability for business-critical
applications. GRIDSCALE for DB2 is backed by IBM`s global technical support
organization. For more information, visit http://www.xkoto.com/gridscale.
