I know that wasn't necessarily serious ;-) but ....

I actually like the name Hydra.

Hydra was a networked series of highly redundant nodes that was fault
tolerant to the point that it was almost impossible to turn it off
when you wanted to, much less on accident. From the research I did I
believe the last Hydra node is actually still running somewhere out in
the world.

Anyway, that was a light hearted look at Greek mythology, but I do
like the name Hydra as a one word concept of what we're developing.

As an aside, how did the name "Asterisk" come about?
