There's a difference, though - the mainframe was massive hardware with
massive redundancy implemented in hardware, resulting in a massive
cost, but very low maintenance
Larry's vision is one big database, one big application instance,
running on hundreds of small commodity servers with redundancy
implemented in software, resulting in a very low cost but very high
maintenance.
Into the gap steps companies like mine (and our competitors) that try
to bridge the gap - aid in the management of large numbers of commodity
servers.
Thanks,
Matt
