"Fred's leadership in helping grow VERITAS made him our ideal candidate
to help scale Evergrid. He is very familiar with Evergrid, and has
extensive experience in both enterprise software and high performance
computing environments," said John Jarve, managing director of Menlo
Ventures and member of the Evergrid board of directors.
"Our products uniquely address requirements for improved availability,
utilization, and automation in the data center, originating from the
expanding use of clusters of commoditized servers. There is a huge
opportunity ahead for Evergrid, and that requires the high level of
expertise that Fred has demonstrated throughout his career." said B.J.
Arun, founder and chairman, Evergrid.
Van den Bosch has served on the Evergrid board of directors since the
company was founded in 2004. During his 13.5-year tenure at VERITAS, he
built the company's product organization from 15 to 1500 people, and
successfully managed its development partnerships with major hardware and
software vendors. Fred was instrumental in crafting VERITAS' strategy and
initiating new product initiatives through internal development and
acquisition. He actively participated in structuring and managing strategic
alliances, and in sales to major accounts.
"Evergrid's technology foundation, created by a strong team under the
leadership of CTO and founder Dr. Srinidhi Varadarajan, has enabled the
creation of a compelling family of products that address the challenges of
managing rapidly growing, scale-out computing environments," said Fred van
den Bosch. "The company will soon be adding several exciting products
targeting enterprise online workloads to its existing family of products,
which will address the needs of batch processing applications."
As data centers expand and use increasingly large quantities of
commodity servers, managing to high levels of utilization while
guaranteeing customer service levels is becoming a major challenge.

application awareness to the management of data center resources and
complement existing solutions that focus on the management of physical and
virtualized resources. Its products support both large-scale distributed
and complex multi-tier application environments. For more information,
