Today Chuusai and Zink Digital announced an agreement for Chuusai to become a Fly Space consulting and training partner. The agreement means that Chuusai will offer both integration assistance for Fly customers using the Scala interface, and provide training and support to ensure that projects using Fly and Scala get the most from this powerful new combination of technologies.

Nigel Warren, designer of Fly, said “I’m delighted that Miles and his team at Chuusai will be bringing all of their deep understanding of Scala in the High Performance, Financial and Scientific Computing domains to bear on projects using Fly to cluster their distributed Scala apps. The Fly team has worked very hard to make the Scala interface natural for Scala developers by, for example, including direct support for Actors, whilst maximising performance by writing native Scala objects directly to the Fly server.”

Miles Sabin of Chuusai said “We’re delighted to be working with the Fly team to bring the combination of tuple spaces and Scala to a wider audience. Tuple spaces are coming into their own in our new environment of ubiquitous parallelism and distribution, and Fly, being the foremost implementation available on the Java Virtual Machine, and the only one with a Scala interface, deserves serious attention from everyone working in demanding computational domains.”
