In addition to what you'll find on the In the News section, here is what the Press and Analyst community is saying:

  • "Technology is rapidly maturing, but only products from specialized providers such as GigaSpaces and Tangosol have accumulated a significant installed base."
    - Massimo Pezzini, Gartner, "Extreme Transaction Processing Transaction: Technologies to Watch," February 13, 2007

  • "Congrats to GigaSpaces on the GS6 release - TSS has been working with it and it's a very nice implementation of the space-based programming model."
    - Joseph Ottinger, TheServerSide.com, "GigaSpaces 6 announced, allows POJOs in JavaSpaces via Spring," June 12, 2007

  • "With these new capabilities and upcoming announcements, along with a few other changes to ease the transition to its application platform, GigaSpaces XAP might just be the company's ticket to achieving the mainstream success it craves. After all, there is no denying how innovative the software is..."
    - Derrick Harris, GRIDtoday, "Grid Software Surges Forward," June 18, 2007

  • "GigaSpaces provides more processing efficiency over the older Java Beans technology. eXtreme also supports plain .Net and plain C++ objects."
    - Ellen Messmer, Network World, "Wall Street's need for speed in spotlight at SIFMA Conference," June 19, 2007

  • "The full XAP platform is designed for firms that want to architect their applications based on what GigaSpaces calls "space-based architecture", which enables extreme performance and scalability. A dynamic container enables firms to manage the instances of their application across the grid and allows for self-healing - that is, where the system automatically maintains a fault tolerance policy."
    - Sheree DeCovny, Banking Technology, "GigaSpaces XAP Version 6.0 Couples Fast Performance with Efficiency," July 2007

  • "GigaSpaces XAP manages the business processes while Microsoft CCS is responsible for resource and policy management for the hardware. The combination results in virtually unlimited scalability. GigaSpaces can distribute data across a large number of nodes to maintain low latency through in-memory processing, while Microsoft CCS adapts the cluster technology dynamically to meet computational requirements."
    - Tom Groenfeldt, Securities Industry News, "GigaSpaces, Microsoft Team for High-Speed Processing," August 6, 2007

  • "The ongoing slugfest between providers of high-performance computing solutions was evident at the High Performance on Wall Street show today at the Roosevelt Hotel... Specific HPC product news we found of interest...Microsoft and GigaSpaces announced that they have been integrating Excel 2007 with GigaSpaces' in-memory data grid solution at individual customer sites and will productize a joint solution in 2008. This will help eliminate data latency in such scenarios as research analysts making research available to traders and spreadsheet-based risk management."
    - Penny Crossman, Wall Street & Technology, "News from the High Performance on Wall Street Show," September 17, 2007

  • "GigaSpaces owns an amazing set of technologies. They have created a general-purpose, infinitely-scalable, application platform. This is an incredibly difficult problem to solve, but they have managed to solve it. In other words, they provide Google-like technology for the rest of us."
    - Jesse Chan, FishTrain.com, "Interview with GigaSpaces," September 26, 2007

  • "Another element of simplicity is holism, and this is another area where GigaSpaces excels. XAP innately handles data, business logic and messaging, which leads to one of, if not the, most complete solutions on the market."
    - Derrick Harris, GRIDtoday, "Balancing Performance and Simplicity for Wall Street," October 29, 2007

  • "GigaSpaces customers include leaders in the financial services, telecommunications sectors and government institutions, including Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Dow Jones, Virgin Mobile and Nortel Networks."
