MARKHAM, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Univa, the Data Center Automation Company and home of Grid Engine, today announced the release of License Orchestrator to provide license management through Univa Grid Engine, the most widely deployed, distributed resource management software platform today. Reducing the operating costs of IT departments, Univa’s latest solution adds essential planning tools, such as reports on license usage, to maximize a company’s budget spent on software licenses. Built by the creators of Grid Engine, with License Orchestrator you can expect the same robust, enterprise-grade and scalable product as all Univa solutions.
“Companies invest large portions of their budget on expensive software tools without the means to ensure that these critical assets are being used optimally and getting into the hands of those who need it most,” said Gary Tyreman, CEO, Univa. “In the highly competitive business environments of today, going to market quickly is paramount. License Orchestrator provides that speed through an integrated, scalable and flexible approach to managing key software licenses.”

Designed for the modern enterprise, Univa’s new product is highly scalable and operates across geographically dispersed sites without any impact on performance. License Orchestrator enables companies to optimize the investment of enterprise software license fees by centralizing all software license activity on multiple Univa Grid Engine clusters and external applications.
