Manjrasoft aims to "simplify .NET clouds and enterprise grids "
Company
Manjrasoft is a start-up company spun out of The Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory at The University of Melbourne. Manjrasoft's core technology enables enterprises to improve performance and scalability within existing, Windows-based software application and development frameworks by distributing application processing within .NET enterprise environments. Further developments underway also extend abilities for the peering of cloud computing across networks.
Aneka is the first of our commercialized software based on year of research in Grids and Market Oriented Computing. More information on the research can be found here.
We are based in Melbourne and now have sales and/or distribution in China and India. The CEO/CTO and founder is Dr. Raj Buyya who is also serving as the Director of the CLOUDS lab in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering. Raj and his team have written many papers, books and articles around Grids, Cloud Computing and Market Oriented Computing over the years. Please visit Raj's website (http://www.buyya.com) for more information.
Our Cloud computing technology, called Aneka, is used to setup enterprise Clouds and run applications both in academia and industry. In addition, our software runs on public Clouds such as Amazon EC2. We have also developed a Workflow Engine that works on Amazon EC2 and S3 and demonstrated its usage for functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) application in collaboration with Dartmouth College, USA. We have demonstrated these works as part of Second IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2009) and our team was one of the winners of this competition.

A paper describing Cloud technologies (Aneka and Workflow Engine) and their scientific applications can be found in our another paper: High-Performance Cloud Computing: A View of Scientific Applications.
Vision that drives our future products in "market-oriented cloud computing" can be noted in CloudCom 2009 Keynote Presentation.
