Earlier this month I spent a week at the OpenStack conference. But once you realize that there are, in fact, several OpenStack conferences happening at the same time and place, it makes more sense. We also virtualize really well, for those OpenStack users who are focusing on managing armies of developers and swarms of MIS systems.

In industry, generally due to time-to-market restrictions, we tend to think extremely short term with evolutionary design changes rather than riskier revolutionary ideas that have a longer timeline for returns. Virtualization, for instance, was being addressed by IBM in the 1960s. However, a similar near term bias exists in academia.

With these requirements in mind, and a willingness to question the status quo, a small group of distributed systems experts came together and designed a horizontally scalable distributed database that would scale out for both reads and writes to meet the long-term needs of our business. This was the genesis of the Amazon Dynamo database.
