Guaranteed performance and high availability under any processing load

From the time the first line of code was written, GigaSpaces software has been about one thing: scalability. Today, GigaSpaces XAP has evolved into a robust next-generation application server that scales predictably and cost effectively without sacrificing application performance-no matter how many users there are, how quickly the data volume grows, or how dramatically the processing load increases.


XAP guarantees performance and high availability for:

All kinds of XTP applications

Applications built on SOA and event-driven architectures

Algorithmic trading, risk and portfolio analysis, VAR Calculations, PNL, surveillance, compliance, and real-time regulation applications in the Financial Services industry

Fraud detection systems in the Telecom industry

Real-time intelligence analysis, homeland security, and civilian agency applications in Government organizations

What happens when a typical application is pushed to process more data, serve more clients, and provide more services, and it is expected to do it all reliably and in less time than before? It usually falls far short of expectations or requires a massive re-investment in infrastructure and systems. Applications powered by GigaSpaces XAP never fall short, because they deliver guaranteed real-time information processing and extreme transaction processing (XTP) performance under any processing load. How?

  • XAP co-locates the data with the business logic on a single server and manages data and messaging in-memory, in-process. This approach eliminates the bottlenecks, latency, and complexity associated with tier-based middleware that has many "moving parts" and requires multiple network hops.
  • XAP is built to handle distributed data with sub-millisecond latency, helping guarantee that you'll meet your service level agreements (specifically low latency and high throughput) even during unpredictable throughput loads.
  • XAP guarantees continuous high availability (sub-second hot failover and no data loss) without compromising latency or throughput, because it writes to the database in the background.
