[. . . ] VMware vFabric gemFire ElasticIn-MemoryDataManagement M o d e r n data M anage M ent Overview VMware vFabricTM GemFire® provides fast, secure, reliable and scalable access to data in support of modern enterprise and cloud applications. [. . . ] While first-generation Web applications could tolerate time-consuming round-trips to store and retrieve data from a database, newer applications require a different approach, one that is both ideally suited to this new generation of applications but also one that contemplates deployment on top of virtual infrastructure. GemFire provides the data management capabilities of a database with the performance that only in-memory can provide. It is ideally suited for the needs of modern applications that require real-time access to data and the ability to solve some of the most complex data challenges in the world. ·Lightningfast, highlyavailableandscalabledata accessformodernapplications--runyour applications4­40timesfaster ·Paralleldataexecutionforextremelyhigh throughput ·Engineeredforlowlatency ·Datareplicationacrossnodesandclustersfor highavailability ·Reliableeventnotifications--asdatachanges, applicationsautomaticallyupdated ·Continuousqueryingupdatesresultswith predictablylowlatency ·"Sharednothing"diskpersistenceensuresdisk failureononenodedoesnotresultindataloss ·DatasharingbetweenJava, C++andC#based applications ·WANscalingwhilepreservingperformance, reliabilityanddataconsistency Key Highlights Bypass high database transaction costs derived from spent CPU cycles, network traffic, database access latency and more by managing data in-memory with GemFire. Developer Productivity · Re-engineered APIs simplify development; quickstart programming examples included · Declaratively configure GemFire data infrastructure from Spring with minimal effort connecting secure, reliable and scalable data to enterprise applications · Built-in exception handling traverses GemFire to Spring for consistency and can be applied transparently · Integration with the popular Spring Framework transaction management capabilities makes writing and supporting transactional enterprise applications fast, secure, reliable and scalable Figure 1: VMware vFabric Cloud Application Platform P R O D U C T D ATA S H E E T / 1 VMware vFabric gemFireTM Database-like Persistence · "Shared Nothing" parallel disk persistence combines high performance at scale with cluster-wide high availability and sophisticated failure handling · Synchronous read-through, write-through, or Asynchronous write-behind to backend data sources · Continuous query support ­ automatically update applications with data from memory, no roundtrips to a database Cloud Scale and Operational Efficiency · Dynamic data partitioning across the system evens out load to enable high scale · Co-located transactions, 2-3 times higher performance for thin clients · Wide Area Networking (WAN) support scales across remote sites · Several management options are available, including a command-line utility, a Java Management Extensions (JMX) Agent, and GFMon, a graphical user interface monitoring tool Selected Customers "GemStone proved that its technology had the scale, flexibility and reliability to make our systems our strength. " -- Martin Davies, CTO bet365 Deployment Options · GemFire runs on a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in 32-bit and 64-bit mode on Windows, Linux and Solaris. · GemFire supports peer-to-peer, client/server, and multi-site (WAN) architectures.
