In addition, Platform has been ranked 9th in Canada's Top 25 Software Companies by the Branham 300, the first time the company has broken into the top 10. The Branham 300 is considered the benchmark by which Canadian information technology companies measure their success.

Platform Computing, with over 2000 customers globally, delivers HPC management software that accelerates compute and data intensive applications, and manages cluster and Grid systems. These solutions enable organisations to improve time-to-results and reduce computing costs. The company's strategy is to offer the entire suite of HPC management software for industries such as Electronics, Industrial Manufacturing, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Oil & Gas, and Government & Education. In 2007 Platform acquired the Scali Manage line of business from Massachusetts-based Scali Inc. to further enhance Platform's cluster management capabilities. Platform continues to expand in new markets and saw the strongest growth in Financial Services where revenues doubled year over year.

"In a very competitive market, Platform Computing has completed yet another year of strong and profitable growth which validates the company's strategy to lead and expand the HPC space", stated Songnian Zhou, CEO, Platform Computing. "As HPC management software becomes increasingly critical the value Platform delivers to its customers is in making it easier to deploy and accelerate applications, manage compute systems and thereby reduce costs. Partnerships with industry leaders such as Dell, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Red Hat and SAS enable customers to easily adopt and deploy HPC solutions by leveraging this indirect channel. These partners continue to provide customers with the most efficient and easy to implement solutions."

"The High Performance Computing market continues to see strong growth with 2007 growing by a full 15% to reach US $11.5 billion in server sales", stated Earl C. Joseph, Vice President, IDC, High Performance Systems. "A crucial part of HPC clusters is the ability to manage the cluster, including job and system management, which are consistently identified by end-users as the top requirements for their clusters. Platform Computing's performance in 2007 is a testament to the company’s position as a leader and trend setter in the High Performance Computing space."
