Should we upload a VMware Linux appliance of the exact environment we recommend to use?

Should we upload a VMware Linux appliance of the exact environment we recommend to use?

 

As suggested by this user:

i liked aerospike in the comparison link you sent.ialso like the idea of linux on vmware stripped o everything not needed in your test prototype. i think linux vm is fine if it is scalable up several orders of magnitude.also such packages are easy to deploy so your members dont have to repeat your struggles getting something to work

Thanks to him for posting. Let me know what you think. This is from

Oracle makes it real easy to get into developing with TimesTen in memory database with this free Virtual Box appliance!

Yikes. I don’t need to go crazy downloading and installing stuff individually. It is all in one source here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/databaseappdev-vm-161299.html

This is realy smart as it includes everything I need and already preconfigured:

  • Oracle Linux 5
  • Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition
  • Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Cache
  • Oracle XML DB
  • Oracle SQL Developer
  • Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler
  • Oracle Application Express
  • Oracle JDeveloper
  • Hands-On-Labs (accessed via the Toolbar Menu in Firefox)

 

Let’s see what happens when I play with it.

EMC Greenplum makes Big Data news, adds fully supported Hadoop appliance to product line

EMC Greenplum makes Big Data news, adds fully supported Hadoop appliance to product line. Your reaction?

A lot of companies are looking to create ‘appliances’. Unfortunately I and others are suspect in terms of the overall value that they bring to an organization. One size doesn’t fit all.
Call me skeptical, but I view this as a company trying to remain relevant when faced with a disruptive technology. This is true of IBM,Oracle, EMC, and even Sun before Oracle bought them. Even SyncSort is doing this…

I’m sorry for being negative, but I think the issue is that companies are trying to repackage their existing technology to make their company relative rather than trying to understand the underlying aspects of the disruptive tech and how to create new tech to bridge the gap.

In truth if you listen to the customer, it isn’t an appliance that they want, but a prepackaged solution… And yes there is a difference… 😉

Active Quant p2 and the VMWare appliance is challenging but challenges Marketcetera for true open source algo trading

Active Quant p2 and the VMWare appliance is challenging but challenges Marketcetera for true open source algo trading
I would like to mention that contributors and founders of Active Quant have proceeding in updating this quant based open source project. It appears that some users thought this project died and was not getting updated. As of Feb 2010, this new major update looks like the project has relevancy still.
Active Quant P2 appears to be a new project which enables complete algo based trading. There is not real front end to it but it gives developers like me a leg up to use a framework to start integrating with other systems I have access to or plan to build. All of these of course are built in Java which might give some efficiency for certain quant developers. I just use as learning ground.
Also, there seems to be a VMWare appliance available for download which I tried. This VMware appliance is build off of Debian 5 which is the purest Linux distribution out there. It is also probably one of the most light weight to. I tried this appliance but it appears to have a download link which is missing. It seems that there was an update but other projects are missing including the GUI part of Active Quant P2. The problem is the scant documentation. If there will be serious traction with this project, the founders will need to radically improve all these links and documents. It can be very frustrating for someone like but there those of us who are very dedicated to accomplish our goals. One is definitely learning about algo based trading and quant analytics.
If you have the time to dedicate, you might want to forge ahead with this type of development. Uh, what more can I say??
