This is a great pair to have on your team. These two players add depth of
monitoring to your Deployments. RightScale takes the low level server

Today, AWS Amazon RDS (Relational Database Servers in the AWS Cloud) are a
new Beta and needs to be used as a “peek at that the future” for the IT
staff and CTO. Developers need to wrap their minds around Relational
Database as a service. The time has come for this to be a real SaaS.
The “Big Table” was easy to “pu pu” and say “It does not fit the
model”. RDS is the “real thing” a transactional Relational Database
with all the bells and …

My name is Ed I have working in the computer industry for a very long time. sI started working with computers in 1962. Yea that is the very log time to be focused on one theme.
For the last few year I have been working on Server Deployment. I found out about Cloud Computers and became very interested in the idea of a dynamic server farm configuration. I started to play around with the ideas and developed my own version of a dynamic server farm. Later I started to use the AWS EC2 servers.
Today I develop server farm configurations for many projects.
