In today's business environment, organizations are facing continuous and exponential growth in transaction and data volume of their high performance business critical applications. They must focus on optimizing speed, scalability, and uptime to compete, and sometimes just to stay in the game. However, it is clear that traditional approaches (e.g. adding expensive HW) cannot handle this phenomenal growth.
To face these challenges, companies such as google have taken a completely innovative approach to building their applications: they have broken away from the traditional tier-based application architecture and instead of expensive multi-processor machines, they utilize huge farms of commodity hardware, in highly distributed environments. Despite the proven efficiencies, most organizations cannot afford to build from scratch the software infrastructure required for such an approach.
This session, will present a new architecture that offers the google approach to application-building for the rest of us. It will demonstrate how to scale-out compute and data intensive applications, without compromising performance and latency.
