I'd have to ask one of the guys that put it together for specifics in the morning, but the OS is Ubuntu Linux, and the applications auto launching are of course the FoundationDB server which then connects to the rest of the cluster and begins doing work, and also a client with a Firefox browser running the testing / demo app which increments the counter, changes the circles, and uses (I think) HTML 5 to render the images.
- SirSkidmore 13y agoKind of irrelevant, but just out of curiosity, but what are those little PCs and monitors? They look very interesting!
- nlavezzo 13y agoThe boxes are by a company called Zotac. They're like $200 without drives and we put cheap consumer SSD's in them. The monitors are USB powered, and driven by USB - they are from a company called DoubleSight. Funny story - given the amount of people at Disrupt that were not at all interested in databases, we had probably just as many people ask us detailed questions about "those cool little computers" as we did our database :)
- burgreblast 13y agoAh, I see. Demos are hard but you did a great job. Very well done.
- nlavezzo 13y agoThank you, sir. We'll have some even cooler demo videos coming in the future!
