SQLFire lightning talk
1) vFabric SQLFire is a distributed SQL database from VMware that provides speed through an in-memory design, scale through horizontal scalability, and a standard SQL interface. 2) It provides dynamic scalability by allowing users to add nodes any time load spikes and remove nodes when load returns to normal. 3) SQLFire's in-memory design allows it to handle over 1 million queries per second and fast updates through synchronous writes that are later asynchronously persisted to disk across two servers.

Editor's Notes
- #3 SQLFire is built around the principles of Speed, Scale and SQL.- Speed through memory optimization. SQLFire's data structures and internal architecture take the view that data is intended to reside mostly in memory rather than on disk. SQLFire can also use disk but does it in a way that doesn't compromise in-memory speed.- Scale meaning SQLFire is built from the ground up to be horizontally scalable, meaning if you need more capacity, whether it's a bigger database or a faster database, you can simply add servers to get more capacity. Later on I'll show a demo that highlights exactly this point.- Then SQL. Love it or hate it, you probably already know SQL, it's by far the most widely used database access interface. SQLFire implements a subset of the SQL-92 standard and ships with JDBC and ADO.NET interfaces. In fact, SQLFire's SQL drivers are designed with horizontal scale in mind, the application doesn't need to be aware of how many servers are in the SQLFire cluster, and if a node in the cluster fails, applications are automatically re-routed to a working node without any disruption to the application.
- #4 Let's talk about how SQLFire helps solve this problem. SQLFire is a memory-optimized, distributed SQL database. We'll talk more about what these things mean in a minute. But SQLFire is built from the ground up to be fast enough and scalable enough for the most demanding of modern applications. Though SQLFire is a SQL database, it is more scalable because it relaxes some of the constraints used by traditional databases, which we'll also discuss further.

- #9 Speaking of SQL, SQLFire is based on the SQL-92 standard. SQLFire uses extensions to the standard, it has to to truly realize a horizontally scalable SQL database, but these extensions are limited to the so-called data definition language, things like creating tables. Once tables are set up the application uses the tables and doesn't need to know anything about these extensions. So for the most part applications don't need to worry about any nonstandard syntax.
