Re: I'm new to prevayler: will Prevayler ever be able to share an object across 2 or more computers?

If it's possible, I wanna do it. :)

But seriously, I live in the UK where luckily we have hardly any power cuts
(maybe once every three years, and it lasts about 5-10 minutes), but I'll
still probably get some kind of battery (uninterruptable power supply)
backup anyway. So yeah, I'd REALLY like to maintain the availability of my
app whenever I do any hardware upgrades, and be able to just hot-swap
computers whenever I like.

Wasn't this planned for version 3 of Prevayler? Has it already been done
yet?
There has to be a way I can make this happen in version 2.3 of Prevayler,
right?

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
