Chris O’Leary Tsunami Research
Applying Large Numbers of Commodity Computers To Mission Critical Computing
Tsunami Research is a software company pioneering Hive Computing, a revolutionary approach
to the development, deployment, and management of transaction-oriented and mission critical applications.
While there are other companies that use commodity computers to build low-cost
supercomputers, Tsunami Research is the first to apply these ideas to the much
bigger market
for mission critical computing. Large numbers
of dedicated, commodity computers form a mission critical computing environment called a Hive.
Unlike fault tolerant computers, which are reliable but hardware-based and thus extremely expensive,
a Hive is software-based and can deliver extraordinary levels of reliability at a fraction of the cost.
Mr. O'Leary will contrast the Hive approach to Linux clusters,
distributed supercomputers, application servers, and fault tolerant
computers.Chris O’Leary is Director of Marketing and Evangelism for Tsunami Research. Most recently, he was a Program Technical Manager for Cambridge Technology Partners and was a CRM expert. He also led and managed the development of a financial service Web that was built on top of ATG’s Dynamo and BEA’s WebLogic J2EE application servers. Chris was a key member of the team that designed, developed, and shipped SalesLogix, the leading middle market CRM product.
