Q&A with Tangosol's Cameron Purdy and Peter Utzschneider

Q&A with Tangosol's Cameron Purdy and Peter Utzschneider:

"Their functionality and the data that they depend on must all be continuously available, surviving failures of servers, networks and even data centers."

"We can now detect a remote garbage collection within milliseconds, and dynamically reshape the cluster's traffic to avoid overheating that node."

"The self-tuning algorithms, flow control and traffic shaping features have propelled us years ahead of the technology curve, and help to explain how Coherence is the lowest latency, highest throughput and most scalable clustered data management system in existence."

"This 3.2 release is also notable because it is the first release that we have focused specifically on cluster latency, largely related to specific requests from telecom and financial services customers."

"In my experience, switching to Infiniband form GigE is a big win. But also, I've seen a strictly linear, by-the-ruler, scaling to nearly 400 cache nodes"
