I'm only here for the HighScalability:
- 762 billion: objects stored on S3; $1B/Quarter: Google spend on servers; 100 Petabytes: Storage for Facebook's photos and videos.
- Quotable Quotes:
- @knorth2: #IPO filing says #Facebook is "dependent on our ability to maintain and scale our technical infrastructure"
- @debuggist: Scalability trumps politics.
- @cagedether: Hype of #Hadoop is driving pressure on people to keep everything
- @nanreh: My MongoDB t shirt has never helped me get laid. This is typical with #nosql databases.
- @lusis: I kenna do it, Capt'n. IO is pegged, disk is saturated…I lost 3 good young men when the cache blew up!
- Kenton Varda: Jeff Dean puts his pants on one leg at a time, but if he had more than two legs, you'd see that his approach is actually O(log n)
- One upon a time manufacturing located near rivers for power. Likewise software will be located next to storage, CPU, and analytics resources in a small cartel of clouds. That's the contention of Here Come the Cloud Cartels. This tributary system (pun intended) will be Amazon, Cisco Systems, Google, I.B.M., Microsoft, Oracle and a few competitors. Supposedly the benefit will be cheap computing, but when has a cartel ever lead to cheap anything?
