I was just (kinda) kidding about that. No kidding, Coherence provides very highly scalable clustering and "shared cache" with linear performance improvements to 1000+ nodes. And the data backup is transparent. Think something like NUMA cache (locally-cached store is much faster than remotely-cached store) but, if your local cache fails, your data is safely somewhere else.
And, adding or removing nodes from the cluster "re-arranges" it automatically to load-balance with the new nodes. The bad news: I don't know how much it costs! but it probably costs an arm, a leg, and both nuts. :D On 6/17/07, Cocoy Dayao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 06 17, 07, at 2:56 PM, Orlando Andico wrote: > > > openmpi and friends are so going the way of fortran. :D > > > > http://www.tangosol.com/ > > > > horizontally-scalable, read-write single-image shared-memory cache. > > dynamic load-balancing, data backup, and failover. no this is not your > > mom's memcached. > > > > really? thanks. i'll check these guys out. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
