I don’t think that data grids manage anything beyond data which is exactly what they

supposed to do. In the essence, data grids are distributed caches for RDBMSs. That’s what

they evolved from (Coherence, GigaSpaces).

This is awesome!! I run a Mac Pro 5160 at home with FC8, I'm glad to know someone else out there is using Mac Pros with Linux on them for the same reason I do. Good hardware at a great price vs. performance ratio running Linux to take advantage of the software I use everyday in my work.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources.
