this post quotes Nati Shalom, GigaSpaces CTO, when reffering NT/e's CloudTran - a middleware product that brings the Cloud into the mainstream as an application platform for Java. CloudTran builds on GigaSpaces XAP platform, providing cloud transactions to SQL and NoSQL data stores.

This post reviews the idea behind NoSQL and the advantages of NoSQL.

"The idea is pretty simple: Not all applications need a traditional relational database management system that uses SQL to perform operations on data. Rather, data can be stored and retrieved using a single key. The NoSQL products that store data using keys are called Key-Value stores (KV stores). Because these KV stores are not relational and lack SQL they may be faster than RDBMS's because they don't have to maintain indexes, relationships constraints, and parse SQL..."

This post shows the presentation Jim Liddle, GigaSpaces Director of Sales & Operations in the UK and Ireland, Scandinavia & Spain, gave on the London CloudCamp. Jim talked about "Middleware as a Service - How the Cloud is Shaping Next Generation Middleware".

This post counts the top ten reasons for attending the CloudConnect conference. Reason number 3 is:"You can hear all about some of the leading platform providers’ solutions and how they can help you deploy your applications in the cloud more easily. Plus, hear what actual customers of these platforms are doing, and what they wish these platforms could do".

GigaSpaces is mentioned as one of these solutions' providers, plus, Nati Shalom, GigaSpaces CTO, will speak at the Cloud Connect Conference on Tuesday, March 16.

In this post, the Author recaps cloud hosting - PaaS vendors list, and mentioned GigaSpaces' XAP application server as one of the Vendors alongside products such as Amazon EC2 and Google App Engine.

"A lot of the action we get involved with CloudTran relates to finance, investment banking and so on. But we met with a media company last week, who have a setup that seems just as suitable for CloudTran and GigaSpaces.

This post recaps Cloud providers, from Cloud computing infrastructure tech&solution providers through Cloud computing infrastructure providers to Cloud computing Paas providers, where GigaSpaces is mentioned as one of the PaaS providors.

"CloudTran's goal is to make it as easy as possible for Java developers to write mission-critical applications that are scalable and fast. CloudTran is layered on top of GigaSpaces XAP. As both products serve Java developers and provide transactions, we are often asked what CloudTran adds over GigaSpaces. Here's the bite-sized answer"

This post acknowledges a "great article by Lan Vuong posted on InfoQ about extreme transaction processing patterns and write behind database caching". the article mentions Gigaspaces as a developer of a product that allow all of the free memory of a cluster of JVMs to be used as a cache rather than just the free memory of a single JVM.
