Hi Paolo, David,

Thank you for your input. I knew neither ObjectGrid nor Coherence (I'm
not a java man). It sounds like both indeed are part of the way to the
goal that we are trying to reach. It confirms my opinion we are not
being radically creative, just continuing trends, pushing the envelope
just a bit further. That is just an observation, not a judgement.

Would either of you have some insight as to the internal architecture
of these systems, and observations that we might learn from? Perhaps
some experience with their scalability or pro's and con's in real life
use?

Paul
