Slideshow Transcript

1. Slide 1: A brief overview Prateek Sureka http://www.brainwavelive.com February 15, 2008
2. Slide 2: The Problem • Fragmented data (lack of integration) • Schemas suck – Change something? Good luck getting your old data to work • Big, unwieldy systems which try to do everything • Application has proprietary control of your data
3. Slide 3: The Solution Brainwave is an end-to-end development and deployment platform (kind of like J2EE or .NET - works on Win/Linux/MacOS) It comes with a novel database called Poseidon which – Does not require you to build a data model – Is not a relational database – Does not require schemas – Allows you to just import your data in and start visualizing – Allows different applications to use the same data without affecting each other
4. Slide 4: The Solution Poseidon can store everything: files, application data, metadata and even applications in one place Build applications to create, analyze, explore, visualize, tag, comment, communicate, process
5. Slide 5: The Solution • Developers create applications which can be plugged into the system and used to work with existing integrated database • No single application has control over the data
6. Slide 6: Status and Timeline Brainwave consists of 6 major components Current Status • Complete – Database: Poseidon – Webserver: Iris – UI: Aphrodite – Security: Cerberus – Web Services: Hermes • Alpha (v2) – Processes: Gaea
7. Slide 7: Philosophy • Simplify building Web Applications – Anyone can do it – Multiple solutions to the same problem • Inexpensive, fast and easy – Plug and play applications • Write as little code as possible • Don’t make decisions you don’t need to – No Schema, No constraints for data – God has better things to do - like ending world hunger
8. Slide 8: Features - Database • Single Data Repository • 128-bit Unified Namespace • No Schemas • No joins • MVCC Transactions • OLTP and OLAP in one place • ACID • Integrated data vs. • Replication/Mirroring application integration • Snapshots for High Availability • Auto-recovery • Permission/Role/Capabilities Based Security • Strong Password Encryption (Secure Hash Algorithm - • Supports all major data-types SHA-1) • Semantic Storage • Automated Indexing
9. Slide 9: Features - App Server • Single Sign-on • AJAX UI widget libraries • Business Rules • WidgiCalc - HTML widgets • Business Process Workflow can be programmed with • SOA Ready excel like formulae • REST Web Services • Global Connection Pooling • Session Handling • SSL
