"... provide HA, scalability, bu...Hi Matthew,<br /><br />"... provide HA, scalability, bullet-proof reliability and speed" - sound pretty ambitious to me :)<br /><br />I agree with you that a lot have been done during last 3 - 4 years in area of distributed applications. Database HA (not just backup) is a norm now. End of GHz race have made people take distributed computing (transactional applications included) seriously. But we still in the middle, a lot more have to done.<br /><br />But progress is huge, that is true.<br /><br />Regards,<br />AlexeyAlexey Ragozinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720493857045012756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735872642513631302.post-80415040117104971962012-05-15T19:31:59.030+01:002012-05-15T19:31:59.030+01:00Alexey
Thanks for the interesting post.
I think ...Alexey<br /><br />Thanks for the interesting post.<br /><br />I think we agree that there is a growing need for products that support enterprise applications, as they start to use grids,<br />which isn't met by Dynamo, BigTable etc. <br /><br />We really didn't set out to be ambitious!<br />There are a certain set of requirement for CloudTran - to manage the grid and the database to provide HA, scalability, bullet-proof reliability and speed.<br /><br />Lots of products do most of these. The problem is, that without solving them all, the applications are too slow or unreliable, or they push a lot of complexity onto the application developer.<br /><br />You needn't worry about this product space being too challenging. 3 or 4 years ago, you'd have been right ;-), but now the big problems are solved.<br /><br />The user feedback we're getting is that CloudTran works and is easy to use.<br /><br />Matthew Fowler, CTO, CloudTranMatthew Fowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664650910987912848noreply@blogger.com
