Ultra fast local cache implementation for .NET
December 7th, 2008Native In-Memory Performance for .NET Clients
As you may know, since version 6.6 GigaSpaces XAP.NET has become a separate offering, with a native .NET look & feel, considerably better performance and improved ease of use. We are continuing to improve XAP.NET, and one feature that users have consistently been asking for is native .NET local cache support. The [...]
Event listener container abstraction for .NET
December 5th, 2008GigaSpaces XAP.NET 6.6.2 comes with out of the box event listener container abstraction that decouples the business logic implementation from the underlying data grid implementation. This allows simpler and faster processing unit implementation, without having to implement the event triggering logic by your self. For those of you who are familiar with open spaces event [...]
A comment that made my day
December 5th, 2008I guess will all product people know what is it to work in the trenches, releases, bug fixes, taking care of customers. Not all is glory.
Yesterday, I got this feedback from a prospect:
<quote>I have looked at many purported “Cloud” software solutions and yours is by far the most impressive I have ever seen. The level of the .Net technology used is, to sum it up in one word “incredible”, it is impressive to see a company pushing the .net platform to the limit.</quote>
Really made my day!
Holy .NET Batman! GigaSpaces6.6 for .NET is so cool!
October 7th, 2008I just installed the GigaSpaces product for .NET found here: Latest Downloads
I installed it in two clicks - using the default install and discovered the remarkable and oh so sexy .NET functionality demo that has no parallel (yet) in the Java version of the product. I am now motivated to scrape together a graphical example for Java that shows the same clear and excellent functionality as is in the .NET example.
If you are interested - after you download the .NET version go to :
“C:\GigaSpaces\XAP.NET 6.6.0\Examples\SpaceTutorial”
to execute the charming and educational graphical demo I am speaking of.
Cheers,
Owen.
Java/.NET Interoperability
October 6th, 2008Eitan, one of our brilliant .NET developers posted here a description of the underlying mechanism we use in GigaSpaces XAP to provide simple integration between Java and .NET.
We use different concepts than typical XML based interop solutions by providing a seamless default mapping between Java, .NET and C++ objects. We have several customers who use mixed teams, usually .NET team which develop user interfaces for the desktop and Java or C++ server side processing teams. In our solution the objects are mapped to a canonical efficient representation. It is the framework’s role to do the mapping and conversion and not of the user’s. For this reason we can apply very sophisticated optimization which makes language boundaries unnoticeable from performance and efficiency perspectives.

Enjoy,
