Hive Compting Assumptions

Hive Computing is able to deliver on the promise of making mission critical computing affordable because it is based on three very different assumptions...

1. The Application is the Only Thing That Matters
   The self-organizing capabilities of a Hive enable developers to focus on the part of the system that delivers the value: the application. Developers do not have to concern themselves with the vagaries of the physical environment.
2. Failure Happens
   A Hive recognizes that failure happens. The self-healing capabilities of a Hive rid developers and administrators of the need to fear failure. Instead, they can simply trust the Hive to deal with failures as they arise.
3. Computers Are Disposable
   The self-maintaining capabilities of a Hive make it economical for it to be built from inexpensive, PC-grade components.
