Non-linearly scalable applications are expensive and risky.
Non-linearly scalable applications suffer from diminishing returns on added resources: each additional resource will increase system capacity by a smaller increment, and per-transaction costs will actually increase as the business grows. At some point, the application will hit a wall and crash, leading to a potentially devastating loss of customers and revenue and the need to repeatedly re-architect the application to accommodate growth.
GigaSpaces XAP enables linear, on-demand scalability
GigaSpaces XAP allows applications to scale linearly: each additional resource will increase system capacity consistently and predictably. For example, if one server can process 500 transactions per second, two servers can process 1,000, ten servers can process 5,000, and so on. There are no diminishing returns, and no code changes required. Just drop in another box and increase capacity linearly with predictable performance, availability, survivability.

| Lower TCO | Higher ROI |
| Fewer servers to buy
Linear Scalability allows scaling out by adding more low-cost commodity machines to achieve higher throughput. On demand Scalability lets you avoid expensive over provisioning of servers that sit idle and take full advantage of the economies of scale offered by cloud computing Read the blog: GigaSpaces and the Economics of Cloud Computing |
No diminishing returns
Each additional machine will increase system capacity predictably, with no diminishing returns as you add more machines. Double the throughput by doubling your resources - it's that simple XAP can also extend an application's life, since scaling it to meet growing demand does not require any code changes or re-writes. Increased utilization and throughput per server XAP dramatically improves utilization of the hardware. By putting the entire application in a container (all services, messaging, data and web container), and running it in-memory, in-process, XAP eliminates bottlenecks and enables each server to achieve a higher throughput. |
| Fewer middleware product licenses required per server
XAP handles messaging, data, and business logic all within the same product. There is no need to have dedicated experts and there is only one product license to buy. XAP also reduces or eliminates the need to purchase and/or integrate other aspects of middleware, such as high-availability (e.g., Veritas FS), clustering (e.g., Oracle RAC) or distributed transaction managers. |
A single product replaces multiple products and eliminates integration costs
XAP comes pre-integrated with a web container, so it provides all middleware functionality in a single product, purchased with a single license, without requiring integration. |
| Shorter framework development, integration, testing, and change cycles
XAP is enterprise-ready right out of the box-including partitioning, replication, failover, and deployment mechanisms-so you don't have to spend time and money building a development and development framework |
Leverage existing knowledge, tools, and systems XAP supports common Java and .Net development frameworks including Spring, Mule, and J2EE, allowing developers to leverage their existing skill sets to improve performance for existing applications, and simplify future application development and planning to get new products and services to market faster. |
