Editor's Notes
In this video I will explain and then demonstrate the next version of TidalScale’s administration server, called Wave Runner.
Wave Runner makes the creation and management of TidalScale Software-Defined Servers Flexible and Easy.
TidalScale uses virtualization but does it _across_ multiple physical servers, effectively allowing you to treat physical servers like lego building blocks.
