????NuoDB首席執(zhí)行官巴里?莫里斯

????很多科技公司都想發(fā)起一場(chǎng)技術(shù)革命，但是很少能獲得上一波技術(shù)革命領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的支持。馬薩諸塞州劍橋市的NuoDB公司卻一舉網(wǎng)羅了上一波數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)革命“四大天王”的其中之三——Ingres公司前CEO加理?摩根泰勒、Sybase公司前CEO米切爾?克茲曼、Informix公司前CEO羅杰?斯普爾。只有最后一名“天王”，也就是甲骨文（Oracle）的CEO棄權(quán)了，但他也身在投資人之列。這么一家名不見(jiàn)經(jīng)傳的公司何以有這么大的號(hào)召力？因?yàn)镹uoDB的技術(shù)解決了一個(gè)多年來(lái)被行業(yè)視為“圣杯”的問(wèn)題：如何讓一個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)在多個(gè)服務(wù)器上運(yùn)行。“關(guān)鍵在于用更多的機(jī)器，而不是更大的機(jī)器。”該公司CEO巴里?莫里斯表示：“那個(gè)問(wèn)題聽(tīng)起來(lái)雖然簡(jiǎn)單，但一直沒(méi)得到解決。”DuoDB公司成立于2010年，現(xiàn)在這家公司已經(jīng)簽下了一個(gè)大客戶(hù)——?dú)W洲第二大軟件廠(chǎng)商達(dá)索系統(tǒng)公司（Dassault Systèmes）。另外莫里斯認(rèn)為，公司正在飛速朝著一個(gè)“新的聚焦點(diǎn)”邁進(jìn)。他認(rèn)為DuoDB將走上舞臺(tái)的中央。“它的意義不在于數(shù)據(jù)的規(guī)模或運(yùn)行速度，而在于形成一種數(shù)據(jù)導(dǎo)向型模式。持續(xù)改進(jìn)的能力才是它的革命性所在。”——Andrew Nusca

????Barry Morris, Chief Executive Officer, NuoDB

????Many technology companies promise to spark a revolution, but very few have the backing of the leaders of the previous one. Cambridge, Mass.-based NuoDB counts three of the four horsemen of the previous database wave—former Ingres Corp. CEO Gary Morgenthaler, former Sybase Inc. CEO Mitchell Kertzman, and former Informix Software CEO Roger Sippl, with only a certain Oracle chief executive abstaining—as investors. Why? Because NuoDB’s technology solves a problem that many industry veterans long considered to be the Holy Grail: run a database on multiple servers. “It’s about more machines, not bigger machines,” CEO Barry Morris says. “That problem, simple as it sounds, was as yet unsolved.” First funded in 2010, Morris’ company recently landed a massive customer—DassaultSystèmes, the second-largest software vendor in Europe—and is hurtling toward what Morris calls “a new convergence point.” He’s convinced NuoDB will be at the center of it. “It’s not about size or speed of the data. It’s about being data-driven,” he says. “Continuous improvement—that’s the revolution.” —Andrew Nusca
