At the heart of every big data solution, such as XAP, is data synchronization. While there are a number of solutions and approaches available today, they are either overly complex or incredibly inefficient. Fortunately, we have been able to combine a number of these protocols to achieve what is a [...]
Applications are written in diverse and often remote environments. Storing and accessing data needs to be simple and portable, which is why REST (representational state transfer) is often the go-to protocol for web services. And yet, using REST for data services can pose a number of challenges: Performance (clients should [...]
Strata + Hadoop World London 2016 we're on our way! Join us at Booth #331 to learn about our new Spark Distribution and hear the latest on XAP 11! We’re very excited to be in London and can’t wait to show you all the new things we have in [...]
We have just released XAP 11.0 and we're excited to share with you its new features. Geospatial API In today’s world geospatial data is on the rise—mobile phones and various sensors provide ever-changing location information on the one hand, while countless applications are interested in querying this data on the [...]
Martin Fowler and James Lewis's microservices paper has been influencing many development teams and projects around the world. As such, this software architecture style has gained prominence among web-scale startups and enterprises. In this post, we'll look at how microservices related to SBA and GigaSpaces technology. We will review the [...]
After having the opportunity to present this topic at the recent Big Data Expo in Utrecht, Netherlands (and a few other expos) I thought it would also be a good time to share my thinking with the online community. Data storage & processing has always been a dominant concern for any enterprise and with [...]
Written by Alex Woodie, IT Jungle Magic Software recently launched a new release of its application development and runtime framework that features in-memory data grid (IMDG) technology. The IMDG - which will eventually support IBM i - will bolster the scalability, stability, and elasticity of applications developed with xpa Application [...]
From time to time, I like to visit NoSQL conferences and talk to people from the community to see how they solve their problems. I guess I find it more neutral to do this sometimes, as opposed to speaking to our customers, as they might be biasedJ. In any case, [...]
We are excited to announce a joint partnership with SanDisk today! With this partnership we have built a new product – called XAP MemoryXtend, that basically gives you extreme processing but at lower costs. How did it all start? We all know that there’s a growing need for faster processing [...]
NoSQL databases provide vast storage and high availability, but at the cost of losing transactions, relational integrity, consistency, and read performance. This post presents an architecture that combines and in-memory datagrid as a high performance transactional layer to a NoSQL database, providing a complete application platform with the high scalability [...]
Consider you are building a financial back-office trade processing application. Trades are flowing in from the front-office system. To cope with the velocity and volume of the trades you want to use in-memory processing. The trades are usually settled no later than 24 hours from trade execution. These trades objects [...]
Trade and Event Processing at a Massive Scale - QCon NY 2012 Here is Uri Cohen's presentation from his session at QCon NY. Session Abstract: Efficient, low-latency and in-order trade processing has always been at the focus of financial institutions and investment banks. In a world where every millisecond counts, [...]
Are you Really using the Fastest and Most Scalable Cache with your Application? We are hearing lately reports from several accounts "discovering" that Terracotta ehcache is not the fastest and most scalable cache out there. GigaSpaces local cache actually performs much better. With the benchmark results below we see GigaSpaces [...]
I will be having a session about Real Time processing with IMDG and NoSQL DB on Thursday, July 28th, 6:30 PM at the NYC NoSQL meetup. The session will cover the following: In-Memory-Data-Grid usage with NoSQL DB in financial , telecom , logistics and gaming related systems. The session will explain [...]
Docu.NET API One of GigaSpaces XAP 8.0 new APIs is the SpaceDocument that provides the power of having schema-less objects stored and used within the Space. In 8.0.1 we have added the SpaceDocument to the XAP.NET, which was given the cool code name - Docu.NET. In short, a document is [...]
