Pervasive CTO and General Manager of Integration Products Mike Hoskins was named Austin Information Technology Executive of the Year for 2007 for his work with the Pervasive DataRush multi-core Java dataflow development tool [6]. Pervasive DataRush developers are engaged in work on a parallelized multicore-powered data-intensive high performance computing Java development platform [7][8]. The results of a study done in cooperation with the University of Texas on NetFlix data mining using DataRush was presented at the 15th Annual Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-09) June 28-July 1 in Paris, France[9].

Pervasive recently acquired B2B data interchange service Channelinx[11]. ChanneLinx is based out of Greenville, SC. It will continue operating under the name Pervasive Business Xchange[12].
