Univa is a privately held software company that sells data center optimization software products.
Univa was founded in 2004 under the name Univa Corporation by Carl Kesselman, Ian Foster, and Steve Tuecke and was at that time primarily known for providing open source products and technical support based around the Globus Toolkit.[1][2]
On September 17, 2007, the company announced that it would merge with the Austin, Texas-based United Devices and operate under the new name Univa UD.[3]
The company operated as Univa UD until formally dropping "UD" and returning to common use of Univa Corporation. Under the leadership of current CEO Gary Tyreman[4] Univa announced, January 18, 2011, that it had hired the principal and founding engineers of the Grid Engine team.[5]
