CloudTran CloudTran In computing, CloudTran, a transaction management product, enables applications running in distributed computing and cloud computing architectures to embed logical business transactions that adhere to the properties of ACID transactions. Specifically, CloudTran coordinates ACID transactionality for data stored within in-memory data grids (e.g., Oracle Coherence, GigaSpaces, and Gemfire), as well as from the data grid to persistent storage systems (e.g., Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB). Distributed computing has traditionally relied on a technology called distributed transactions which is an algorithm used to coordinate the storing of a logically-related set of data within more than one database or computer.
Thin client Thin client A thin client is a lightweight computer that has been optimized for establishing a remote connection with a server-based computing environment. The server does most of the work, which can include launching software programs, crunching numbers, and storing data. This contrast with a fat client or a conventional personal computer; the former is also intended for working in a client–server model but has significant local processing power, while the latter aims to perform its function mostly locally. Thin clients occur as components of a broader computing infrastructure, where many clients share their computations with a server or server
