Community Live - Online Gaming High Scalability

,----[ Quote ]
| The inaugural meeting of the Online Gaming High Scalability Special Interest 
| Group was a one day conference on the theme of "Should you bet on the Cloud". 
| From the users point of view, an online gaming system seems simple but behind 
| the scenes there is a high level of complexity, from ensuring response times, 
| handling hundreds, thousands or more clients, ensuring the reliability of the 
| entire system and managing the security of a system which may be handling 
| virtual or real money. The question asked by the conference was can "The 
| Cloud" help address those issues. The 180 conference attendees came from a 
| wide range of businesses, from the obvious online bookies, poker and other 
| game oriented companies to banks and financial institutions who have similar 
| issues.

| It’s not a shock to state that cloud computing will disrupt the business 
| model of commercial software. But how it will affect the open source

Mullenweg: Open Source Trumps The Cloud

,----[ Quote ]
| Using cloud storage from Amazon has helped Automattic scale its fast-growing
| Wordpress.com blog hosting service. But Wordpress founding developer Matt
| Mullenweg said he’d much prefer to run an optimized open source solution on
| leased servers. While cloud computing is the hot buzzword, Mullenweg said
| open source is the key to competing in the new digital economy.
