Sharding
IRIS brought us a new WOW feature - SHARDING !
Definitely a great thing!
But how can I find out if it suits my actual applications?
Is there a practical advantage to go for it with my well cooked transactional application?
Or is it just for new still to be designed applications?

In a single server environment, it is rather easy to create a transaction consistent backup.
Simplified:
You find (or force a specific point in time with no open transactions.
Freeze your server, take a snapshot and you are done.

Last week, we announced the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, our new and comprehensive platform for all your data endeavours, whether transactional, analytics or both. We've included many of the features our customers know and loved from Caché and Ensemble, but in this article we'll shed a little more light on one of the new capabilities of the platform: SQL Sharding, a powerful new feature in our scalability story.
