Freedom to Work and Play
November 8th, 2007
Holy good news Batman!
GigaSpaces is now *free* to use for startups!!!!
No. Really.
This is exciting because you now can get a full XAP license with all the bells and whistles to use forever. (as long as you do not earn more than 5 million dollars)
Everybody that wanted to try this stuff out but was concerned about being chased down by salespeople - have no fear. You can now use it in production for free as long as you are what GigaSpaces considers a startup.
GigaSpaces continues to offer the community edition for free to anyone at all.
Check out the announcement: here
Cheers,
Owen.
SBA –all over the world!
October 22nd, 2007Wow!
This Fellow seems to really like GigaSpaces and SBA!!
Check out his blog here.
I wonder where he got his material for the blog…?
I guess the influence of SBA on the architect is felt worldwide.
: )
It does my heart proud to see more and more the path of the parallel and co-located rising up to meet the feet of the technologists who seek it.

Belated hats off to Julian Browne
October 19th, 2007One of my favorite success stories involving SBA Space-Based-Architecture is the OrderProcessing system implemented at Virgin Mobile a couple of years ago. Rather than speak at great lengths about it myself, I want to tip my hat to Julian Browne who did a nice job of blogging about his introduction to SBA here.
Thanks Julian for a terrific writeup on your SBA initiation.
BTW Julian: If you see this… how long exactly *was* the Virgin Mobile system down when it last crashed and recovered thanks to the resiliency of the SBA you chose? (I have heard a couple of different numbers)
For the rest of you - learn more about SBA and GigaSpaces here
