OTTAWA, Nov. 7, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Validian Corporation (OTCBB: VLDI), a leader in application security software and solutions, today announced the immediate availability of the Validian ASI P2P, the world's first enterprise-grade peer-to-peer (P2P) framework. The new framework will enable enterprise and government customers to better utilize their existing computing and storage resources and curb runaway infrastructure costs.
Validian is selling its secure P2P framework through its existing channel partner distribution network for the secure distribution of movies and music over the Internet and to federal and state governments.
In P2P environments, distributed application components collaborate to accomplish business tasks and satisfy business processes. Application components call on and exploit network-resident services and harness edge resources such as CPUs, memory, storage and bandwidth to improve flexibility and cost-efficiency. Furthermore, unlike traditional client-server architectures, P2P environments enable direct communication between endpoints, eliminating the need for a central server and making better use of resources at the edge of the network and lowering the demand for bandwidth at high-traffic sites.
Commenting on the announcement, Mark LeGuerrier, VP of Technology at Validian Corporation, stated, "Validian's ASI P2P is the world's first P2P infrastructure designed specifically to address enterprise-class considerations and alleviate concerns in the critical areas of security, monitoring, and manageability. Until now, enterprises and government organizations have been reluctant to develop internal applications using current P2P technology due primarily to security concerns, even though dramatic benefits in terms of infrastructure utilization, uptime, and costs can be obtained."
ASI P2P is an inherently secure P2P infrastructure consisting of both development-time and run-time components. With a rich set of capabilities for both developers and deployment experts, the software-only product simplifies the tasks of embedding P2P communication logic within custom applications, deploying P2P services such as address resolution and automatic credentials exchanges, and monitoring data exchanges within the peer community.
"Validian's P2P solution will overcome the largest barriers currently inhibiting expanded use of P2P by the enterprise. We believe this has significant revenue potential as the first secure offering in a rapidly growing, multibillion dollar market," stated Bruce Benn, CEO of Validian Corporation.
