Ultra-Scalable and Blazing-Fast: The Sun Fire x4450-Intel 7460-GigaSpaces XAP Platform - 1.8 million operations/sec!
February 9th, 2009Introduction
Over the past several years highly concurrent applications have faced some serious challenges when trying to scale on multi core machines. GigaSpaces scale-out-application server aims to solve this problem by freeing the user from dealing with the need to handle concurrency while building his distributed application.
For the last few weeks we ran a joint [...]
Local Cache, Local View or Embedded Space? - GigaSpaces Data Access - How and Why
November 24th, 2008GigaSpaces includes several runtime options and API to access the IMDG. These includes: - Local Cache - Local View (available only for GigaSpace) - Embedded Space - Remote space Where the API to access your data could be GigaSpace API or GigaMap API (JMS API and JDBC API are also available).
This post will compare the Local [...]
You want it Fast or Super Fast? – The IB, 10GbE , GigE Benchmark
November 16th, 2008With the current global financial meltdown, the ability to effectively compete becomes essential. Faster data access and sharing are critical for business success. Speed is critical for beating the competition, translating into a need for better latency.
With MW products this means the ability to push your data from the client end point into the clustered [...]
Scaling the Web Layer – The Web Container Benchmark
November 7th, 2008We have been working for the past few days on building a benchmark for our new web containers and its built-in integration with the apache load balancer.
The benchmark was running on Amazon EC2/EBS cloud and was deployed using our new web based cloud tools. The benchmark goal is to measure the scalability of the [...]
Closing the gap between multi-core hardware and enterprise applications
October 7th, 2008Both Nati Shalom and Geva Perry wrote here before about the missing piece in Cloud Computing and in Virtualization, and how the GigaSpaces middleware provides this piece.
Case in point: GigaSpaces and Sun Microsystems recently teamed up to address some aspects of this very problem. We demonstrated how GigaSpace’s eXtreme Application Server (XAP) is able to [...]
