Single, Integrated* EDA Community
Scaleability: Must support exponential growth in the number of users and servers
Availability: Access uninterrupted and service degradation due to catastrophic failure should appear “graceful.”
Adaptability: Users, services, and servers added and removed incrementally. Must adapt automatically.
Robustness: Any failure which may result in loss of data must be recoverable efficiently and incrementally.
Cost Effectiveness: All of the above must be achieved cost effectively.
*Logically integrated, that is!
