[ZODB-Dev] Plone in P2P using Zope over DHT

[Marc Villemade]

Hey Andreas,

I think it makes sense if the storage backend is hosted on-premise (hence private cloud), and i think that's what Aran is thinking about.
They could have Plone->ZODB->Storage backend in the same datacenter, hence no latency problem and good network throughput, provided that the cloud storage used is capable of offering high performance.

Aran, are you thinking of developing your own DHT ?

Cheers

-Marc
