Interview with FastScale

June 5, 2008

Today’s data centers, web farms, and even Web 2.0 overnight sensations can require hundreds of thousands of servers to operate, which creates a challenging software management problem. FastScale has developed an innovative solution to this problem; their Composer Suite automatically builds lightweight software environments by determining the minimum amount of OS components required to support an application, and then provisions these environments in seconds. Lynn LeBlanc, Co-Founder and CEO, discusses the details of the company’s technology and business strategy, and also talks about her career path and how it led to her involvement in server infrastructure manageability. The interview concludes with a product demo by Richard Offer, the company’s Co-Founder and VP of Engineering.
