TidalScale delivers enterprise scale computing at linear cost by using commodity
hardware in aggregation under one operating instance. This means you can create
a 2TB, 10TB or larger operating system instance for a fraction of the cost of today's
branded single physical hardware systems. TidalScale binds multiple commodity hardware
servers into a very large unified software virtual machine and it runs existing
software unmodified.
This is a kernel-level implementation, the application code does not have to be
modified in any way, it just sees the aggregated hardware resources (CPU, Memory,
and IO) made available to the operating system via the TidalScale HyperKernel. The
benefit to the customer and their developers is a dramatic simplification in the
development architecture; the TidalScale HyperKernel handles the complexity and
optimization, the developer focuses on the application. Scale-out implementations
may still occur across multiple TidalScale HyperKernels running side by side.
