Scale Computing

Oliver Sharp of Microsoft writes:

"I believe that we are in the early stages of a transformation in how computing is done. As I’ve thought about that change, its implications, and how we’re addressing it, the common theme that stands out for me is the idea of “scale” computing. This is the notion that instead of writing code meant to be deployed on a single machine or a small set of machines that are tightly controlled by the deployer, we are building applications in a different way to run in large scale data centers."
