rPath used by CERN
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008http://www.rpath.com/corp/2008-press-release-archive/rpath-at-cern.html
CERN turned to virtual appliances to facilitate the analysis of data created by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. The complete software environment needed by the LHC applications is assembled by rBuilder and distributed to run as a virtual machine on physicists’ desktops. Virtual appliances provide a consistent application environment for the LHC applications while, at the same time, allowing scientists to use their desktops for analysis, regardless of operating system.
Do you spend your time in a cloud or a walled garden ?
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008Billy Marshall (CEO rPath) thinks that walled gardens will ultimately be overshadowed by clouds because you cannot achieve webscale computing if every application has to run on a server owned by Google … The faster we take the market to cloud computing, the sooner we can kill off the walled gardens through webscale shadows that deprive them of economic sunlight.
