Open Source Grid Expertise and Thought Leadership
Last week, an exciting event took place here in the Bay Area: The Open Source Grid and Cluster Conference was held in Oakland. Engineers and scientists who care about the complex interactions between open source and grid computing from around the world, discussed their projects and research insights. Grid Dynamics was represented in two ways:
Eugene, our CTO, gave a presentation about Convergence, one of our key project about integrating Data grids with Compute grids. Check out his presentation.
Eugene presented the latest version of Convergence which integrates DataSynapse GridServer5.0 and GigaSpaces XAP6.0. Future versions of Convergence will provide adaptors for Sun Grid Engine, Oracle's Coherence and GridGain.
The second event was moderated by Victoria Livschitz, our CEO: A panel about Trends in Open Source Data Grids with experts from the open source grid computing industry: Doug Cutting, creator of Hadoop, Nati Shalom, CTO and co-founder of GigaSpaces, Nikita Ivanov, President and Founder of GridGain and Daniel Templeton, Manager at Sun Grid Engine.
The discussion started with each of the panelist introducing their products, current initiatives
and their commitment to the Open Source community. Each participant had an interesting perspective particularly to the question on why Data Grids technology is deeply anchored in the Open Source community, but many Compute Grids are not.
Attendees directly participated by asking the panel specific questions around their technologies and development efforts.

The discussion continued informally after the panel with conference attendees and speakers discussing product specific questions and key future technology.

The conference setting allowed attendees to actively share their experience first hand, ask questions in an informal setting, hear the experts talk about technical details and strategic directions about the industry.
