What's new in week 24, 2008

Thursday, 2008-06-12, Copenhagen

Another high-performance, parallel processing database? Aster Data Systems, started up three years ago with three Stanford students, is now coming into a period of growing up their business with the brilliant product. One of their well-known customers is MySpace. The parallel processing database has incorporated quite a few new innovations like data partitioning algorithm POD. We will see how this database engines goes if one of giant database players has the intention to acquire it. So Teradata may not always be the leading players in parallel databases.

Google has recently announced the availability of a new Google application, called Google Sites, which let users create own web pages with a WYSIWYG style. This is another cloud computing application from Google. Seems that Google will attract quite a lot of SoHos’ attention.
