United Devices Revenue and Competitors

(From Wikipedia) United Devices, Inc. was a privately held, commercial distributed computing company that focused on the use of grid computing to manage high-performance computing systems and enterprise cluster management. Its products and services allowed users to "allocate workloads to computers and devices throughout enterprises, aggregating computing power that would normally go unused." It operated under the name Univa UD for a time, after merging with Univa on September 17, 2007. United Devices also operated Grid.org, a website and online community established in 2001 for cluster computing and grid computing software users. For six years it operated several different volunteer computing projects that allowed members to donate their spare computer cycles to worthwhile causes. In 2007, it became a community for open source cluster and grid computing software. At its peak, Grid.org had more than 3 million personal computers in its grid, making it one of the most powerful compute resources the world had ever seen. After around 2010 it redirected to other sites.
