What really bothers me lately about TSS is the signifacnt lack of editorial. For example, on this post they have not even noticed that the title was cut off... The title should say: "GridGain 2.1 - Open Cloud Platform Enables Development of Native Cloud Applications" Regards, Nikita Ivanov. GridGain - Open Cloud Platform

Sorry your buzzword's were cut off.

I can see your sarcasm :) But title of the post really lost the meaning, so it wasn't about buzzwords - unless you consider a "Cloud Application" a buzzword. Best, Nikita Ivanov. GridGain - Open Cloud Platform

Guys at TSS, You are getting like 5-10 posts on your entire forum per day at most... How hard could it be to monitor this "massive" traffic and simply delete spam (manually)? We are getting a lot more post traffic at GridGain's dev forum and somehow we find these indispensable 30 seconds to delete someone spam post and remove the user from our forum system. Wise up, Nikita Ivanov.

The spam post (that I was referring to) was deleted. Thank you. Nikita Ivanov.

Nikita - You would be amazed at how much spam we are currently getting. Please refer to http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=52760 for a description of our problem and what we are doing about it. Thank you.

For a complete list of new features available in 2.1 visit What is New in Gridgain 2.1 page on our Wiki. You may also find some useful Demo Screencasts here. For folks new to GridGain I would recommend watching "Grid Application in 15 Minutes" screencast. Best, Dmitriy Setrakyan GridGain - Open Cloud Platform

Sorry, here is the correct link to screencasts: http://www.gridgain.com/screencasts.html

What a cool product! I recently wrote (by hand) a distributed performance-testing framework. Child nodes created many concurrent connections to an application and gathered response time data. That response time data was sent to a master node that aggregated and stored data. I dealt with Java concurrency, Java threading... So many headaches, so many nightmares. GridGain would have made my life SO much easier! I wish I would have discovered this product earlier. Nice work--Can't wait to use this in my next project.
