In the last five years, private sector companies have launched a number of highly effective Internet-scale applications powered by massively scaled, highly distributed computing resources known as data clusters. Sometimes referred to as data centers or server farms, these clusters contain as many as 90,000 servers, each co-located with hundreds of gigabytes of data. These increases in network capacity and fundamental changes in computer architecture are encouraging software developers to take new approaches to computer-science problem solving.
