Quite simply, FairCom is reimagining the role of databases in a world of edge computing, microservices and the cloud, and FairCom is doing it by building on core database technology with a long history of proven, unparalleled reliability.” said Johnson. “I couldn’t be more excited about the product roadmap and vision, and I can’t wait to share it with the rest of the world.”
