Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.
Adam,
Indeed you stuffed a lot in that presentation, but it sure gives a good overview of what's involved. I am using a technology which is similar, at least in principle - called RedDwarf. Not sure if you have had a look at it, but it claims to provide all the three cornerstones of horizontal scalability that you have elucidated.
Thanks for a great presentation.
