Like many organizations in the private sector, government agencies are under intense pressure to improve the quantity and quality of information and services they provide. The challenge is that existing infrastructures do not meet the performance, scalability and reliability requirements of mission-critical applications. This is especially true for situational awareness, federated search, command and control, and e-gov portal applications, all of which need to scale on-demand to facilitate awareness and collaboration.
U.S. Federal Government agencies are already using GigaSpaces for:
- High-volume applications, such as e-gov portals.
- Real-time tracking and analysis systems, such as those used for homeland security.
- Geographically distributed applications, such as command-and-control.
- Large-volume data mining applications requiring analysis across many terabytes of data.
- Large-scale heterogeneous environments in need of FEA standards compliance mandate.
GigaSpaces eXtreme Application Platform (XAP) offers an approach to building applications that provide linear scalability and low-latency in service-oriented architecture (SOA) environments. By scaling-out across many cost-effective low-end servers, GigaSpaces XAP allows government IT shops to leverage investments in current systems and use open standards, while benefiting from higher utilization and flexibility.
GigaSpaces XAP is based on open computing standards and can be integrated into any existing IT environment to:
- Reduce development time for new applications.
- Enable existing applications to process more data with extremely high performance.
- Dynamically add or reduce hardware resources on-demand.
- Take advantage of flexible distributed system architectures such as SOA and Grid computing.
- Easily manage and monitor underlying data and processing grids.
