GridApp Systems, Inc. was a database automation software company. It was purchased by BMC Software in December, 2010.[1]
Founded in 2002 and headquartered in New York City , GridApp Systems was the brainchild of five former employees of Register.com, Rob Gardos, Shamoun Murtza, Matthew Zito, Dan Cohen, and Eric Gross. The five realized that 85% of the routine tasks performed by database administrators could be automated,[2] decreasing critical errors and improving productivity; all five functioned as GridApp’s CEO, CTO, Chief Scientist, Director of Development, and Mr. Database respectively.
GridApp's flagship product is GridApp Clarity, which has won the following awards and recognition:
- SearchSQLServer ― 2006 ― "Performance and Tuning" Category ― Silver [3]
- ServerWatch ― 2008 ― "Automation and Compliance" category ― Silver[4]
