I was trying to cover "high concurrency" in the "extreme scale" bucket, but I would agree that being precise about scale is better. Geode deals in in-memory terabytes, not Petabytes at rest.
Taking your feedback Ashvin, we can get tighter: Apache Geode is a distributed, in-memory data grid and integrated messaging queue built to support low latency transactional applications at very high concurrency.
