Mike Miller, Adam Kocoloski and Alan Hoffman are the three MIT scientists who founded Cloudant in 2008. The group founded Cloudant, in part, because of data challenges they faced working on CERN's Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator. The co-founders had trouble sharing large sets of experiment data with researchers around the globe. Today, Miller's work at Cloudant focuses on building a fault-tolerant, globally scalable NoSQL database service for fast-growing Web and mobile apps, hosted in the cloud and delivered as a managed service.
