Figure 4. The myMed backbone and the myMed LaunchPad

We have implemented a “backbone” for the myMed social network using a nosql database called Cassandra http://cassandra.apache.org , the latter used also by social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The backbone relies on 50 PC quad code HP400, equipped with 2Tb of hard drive each.
