NewSQL NuoDB Patents Elastically Scalable Distributed Database
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide an elastic, scalable, on-demand, distributed data processing system.
Another object of this invention is to provide an elastic, scalable, on-demand, distributed data processing system that is fault tolerant.
Still another object of this invention is to provide an elastic, scalable, on-demand, distributed data processing system that has a high degree of availability.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide an elastic, scalable, on-demand, distributed data processing system that is platform independent.
Still yet other object of this invention is to provide an elastic, scalable, on-demand, distributed data processing system that is atomic, consistent, isolated and durable.
Yet still another object of this invention to provide an elastic, scalable, on-demand, distributed data processing system that operates over the Internet without a need for dedicated high-speed communications paths.
Still yet another object of this invention is to provide an elastic, scalable, on-demand, distributed data processing system that provides transaction processing and that is adapted for implementation over a wide geographic area.
As with everything legal or patent-related I have no comments. But reading the above description makes me think that NuoDB might have patented either all distributed databases or a perpetuum mobile of databases.
