A Major Player in the Grid Game
eWeek recently ran a podcast interview with Paul Strong, eBay Research Labs distinguished research scientist, about the challenges of implementing Grids in one of the fastest growing database environments in existence.
Admittedly the interview isn't all that telling. Ebay is one of those enterprise players that is simply going to hold their cards real close to their vest. However, the important thing here is that they are at least admitting that they are holding cards. One of the hurdles for mainstream enterprise Grid acceptance is getting some of these big players to actually admit they are using Grid, be it commercially available implementations or something homegrown.
This podcast is also some good preliminary homework if you planning on attending Paul's keynote at GridWorld.
