GigaSpaces Unveils Latest Version of Grid Infrastructure for Real Time Business Applications

New York, NY, March 2, 2004 - GigaSpaces a leading provider of Grid-based infrastructure for real-time business applications announced today the general availability of its GigaSpaces Enterprise Platform release 3.2.

Specially suited for large, intensive real-time distributed transaction processing environments, the new GigaSpaces release introduces the first distributed-caching implementation based on clustered JavaSpaces. The 3.2 release of the GigaSpaces software engine offers application developers a standard Java Map interface, in addition to the rich JavaSpaces API. Real-time, distributed business applications can benefit tremendously by boosting read performance by orders of magnitude.
The new GigaSpaces engine assures consistency and coherency in read-mostly scenarios with highly concurrent applications by utilizing an effective optimistic locking mechanism.

A new "One-Click-Cluster" utility provides dynamic and seamless creation of high availability clusters with one click of a mouse. Fail-over, Load-balancing and Replication clusters can now be deployed automatically.

Existing applications of GigaSpaces can benefit from the new features of this release transparently, without changing a single line of code.

"Leveraging the new 3.2 release, enterprises can now accelerate their business processes while unleashing the power and cost benefits of new grid-based architectures." said Yaron Benvenisti, GigaSpaces CEO. "Release 3.2 of GigaSpaces continues to expand the capabilities of our Grid-based processing engine, particularly for highly intensive, scalable enterprise applications."
