GigaSpaces Technologies, a virtualized application platform, has partnered with CloudTran to integrated its transaction management middleware with the eXtreme Application Platform (XAP) from GigaSpaces. The end result is a Java-based solution that runs large database infrastructures in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.
GigaSpaces XAP is an end-to-end virtualized application platform featuring an in-memory data grid that can manage terabytes of data. Its infrastructure ensures high-speed processing with millisecond latency, while providing automatic failover.
XAP and CloudTran enable responsive transaction processing over the largest distributed and cloud computing environments. The combined XAP-CloudTran infrastructure gives IT organizations the ability to build and deploy database-focused enterprise applications in the cloud by providing a Java view of data, transactions and automatic distribution within public clouds, private clouds, and hybrid combinations.
GigaSpaces scales at the in-memory data level, while CloudTran provides scalability at the persistent data level by logically organizing data stored across multiple computing nodes. By using XAP as the infrastructure, CloudTran can process thousands of transactions each second.
CloudTran provides a data modeling tool and a transaction manager that implements ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) transactions, and integrates the Gigaspaces in-memory grid and persistent data stores. CloudTran also provides hot failover recovery, which rebuilds data within the Gigaspaces’ grid if a node fails.
