That's not true. Standard applications can run in the cloud just fine. The database just needs to be on persistence storage (such as EBS on Amazon), as do any uploaded or other served assets. In order to really leverage the power of the cloud, the scalability, the fact that you want to have an arbitrary cluster of an unknown number of servers that start and stop as you need them - elastic computing - then, yes, you need to design your application accordingly. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://www.getrailo.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
