Welcome to “DivConq”, the site where we discuss how to divide and conquer today’s computing challenges with secure, distributed architecture.
We will be discussing a variety of technologies and architectures here, but all will be considered with an eye toward highly distributed, heterogeneous systems that may span:
- Different versions of the same operating systems
- Different hardware
- Different operating systems
- Different deployment models (e.g., on-premises datacenter vs. cloud)
- Widely deployed systems: across states/provinces or even across countries
In 2010 much of the technology to span these environments already exists, but is difficult to assemble in a coherent architecture for general-purpose applications. This site dedicates itself to bridging the gap between low-level technology and application – let’s begin!
