GEMFIRE FOR DATABASE PERFORMANCE ACCELERATION

In most IT environments, database-related performance and scalability issues often plague Service Oriented Architectures, grid, or Web application deployments.  The net result is a poor end-user experience and non-compliance of service-level agreements.  Database-bound architectures suffer from the following challenges:

• Disk latency
• Non-distributed in nature
• Inability to accommodate sporadic client loads
• Need for complex transformations

The GemFire Enterprise Data Fabric can help database-bound architectures decrease latency and improve scalability considerably. Through a predominantly memory-based data management scheme, the GemFire suite of products supports distributed caching of data (from a database) as objects, result-sets, or as tables in memory. This enables applications to consume data in the format they need without latency.
