XAP for SaaS and Cloud Enablement
GigaSpaces XAP is a proven, off-the-shelf solution for SaaS-enabling existing applications. XAP can be used to take traditional software which is installed on customer premises, and deliver it as a service online, with no code changes. If your software is already delivered as a service, use XAP to reduce costs and improve management.
Why Choose XAP for SaaS Enablement? Five Unique Benefits
Whether you're planning to SaaS-enable your application or are already delivering SaaS, only XAP will give you these unique benefits:
|
Multi-Tenancy for Lower Cost per User
If you are running numerous applications/application instances, XAP's fine-grained multi-tenancy allows you to share them across all available machines, instead of running only one instance per machine. This allows you to support more users on each machine.
|
|
Automatic Scalability
When your service attracts more customers, XAP scales up your application automatically, with no manual effort and no changes to code or configuration. If usage decreases, XAP automatically scales down to conserve resources.
|
|
|
Monitoring and Control
XAP is not a black box. You can monitor the system at the infrastructure, middleware and application level, and respond to problems, through the comprehensive GUI and administration API. The API allows you to easily integrate with existing monitoring facilities.
|
|
Enterprise-Grade Off-the-Shelf Solution
XAP is a proven product with a 7th generation code base, deployed in production for mission critical applications at Fortune 100 companies. XAP provides enterprise-grade resilience, high availability, and security in multi-tenant environments.

|
|
Build Once, Run Anywhere
With XAP you can deliver the same application as a downloadable package and as an online service, with no code changes. XAP also allows you to run SaaS on any hardware in any environment – virtualization, private cloud or public cloud – and easily switch environments.
