"TidalScale-based systems can scale dynamically and at linear cost as application needs evolve, without the need for costly hardware investments or time-consuming software rewrites. As a pioneer of Software-Defined Servers, TidalScale provides solutions that are extraordinarily simple to use, requiring absolutely no changes to existing operating systems, databases, or applications. Among our client base, we see a need for inventive and cost-effective approaches to derive business value from big data, and our investment in TidalScale underscores our commitment to our clients to bring innovative new solutions across our platforms and offerings," said Ritika Suri, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development and Ventures at Infosys.
