Date: December 10, 2006Grid today discusses with Gartner, Sempra Energy and GigaSpaces how today's grids can, in fact, handle transactional applications.
While big businesses have been using Grid for years now to speed up compute-intensive applications and handle the huge volumes of data they produce, it is more recently, since Grid began its evolution into Grid 2.0, that enterprises have been finding more everyday uses for Grid technology, focusing more on Grid's inherent flexibility and distributed nature than on its brute processing power. One way in which they have been using Grid is to handle transactional applications; a technology trend Gartner has labeled "Grid-based application platforms."

Date: June 8, 2006Interview with Nati Shalom, CTO of GigaSpaces, about how the company is able to move beyond the buzz about "googlizing" enterprise applications, and actually realize this vision. "I send my thanks out to Nati for taking the time to meet with me at JavaOne. He has opened my eyes to another way of thinking about enterprise applications and I believe that he is correct: I/O technologies cannot keep up with growth rate of data volume, so we need another approach. And on a personal note, now I am driven to learn more about Jini and JavaSpaces." Steven Haines, J2EE Domain Expert/Architect at Quest Software

Date: May 29, 2006As it seeks to reach beyond its traditional business in caching, GigaSpaces believes the key opportunity is building out its JavaSpaces-based architecture to support functions that currently require users to buy and integrate multiple third-party point products. These tasks include high availability and load balancing, inmemory management and distribution, distributed messaging and parallel processing to support lowlatency, transactional applications. GigaSpaces believes its differentiator is the scalability that a JavaSpacesbased approach brings to these core capabilities.

Date: April 23, 2006Speaking at a briefing in New York last week sponsored by Sun Microsystems and Gigaspaces Technologies, B.J. Fesq, the chief technical architect, global markets technology at BofA, outlined a data distribution project that sprang from a rare consensus among its 2,000 developers. "After meeting with them, it became clear to upper management that data latency is a problem for almost all of them...", Fesq says.
