GigaSpaces R6.6-m1 Released
We’re very proud to announce the avaialbility of the first milestone of our upcoming R6.6 release scheduled for this fall. The release is available as part of the early access program (no registration needed).
The main feature introduced as part of this milestone is the ability to deploy web applications (.war files) into the GigaSpaces service grid cluster. To learn more about this feature please take a look here. In the next milestone we intend to provide integrated, on top of space, scale-out session replication. We believe this feature will provide tremendous value when it comes to large scale web sites who wish to deploy over many nodes.
As always you’ll find additional performance and scalability improvements specifically with using pojo entries in embedded mode. SQL query is faster as well.
The download link and a full release notes is available here.
We’re eager for your feedback, so please give it a spin and share your thoughts with us in our forum.
Cheers,
Guy
