GigaSpaces, a Member of the Formula Group, Introduces a New Version of the GigaSpaces Platform, Which Delivers the Promise of Real Time Performance and Massive Scalability for the Company's Commercial Implementation of JavaSpaces.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 2003 GigaSpaces Technologies Ltd., the developer of the GigaSpaces Platform -- the first commercial implementation of Sun's JavaSpaces technology, announced today the release of its latest version, the GigaSpaces Platform 2.5. The platform is a software infrastructure for developing real time, clustered and collaborative distributed applications. The GigaSpaces Platform behaves as a Distributed Shared Memory Distributed Shared Memory (DSM), in computer science, refers to a wide class of software and hardware implementations, in which each node of a cluster has access to a large shared memory in addition to each node's limited non-shared private memory. , facilitating customer's applications and services to communicate -- share and exchange information, in real time. By using the GigaSpaces Platform, architects of both large enterprises and ISVs significantly reduce the complexity and investment of building distributed systems. Now, with version 2.5, GigaSpaces' customers can fulfill the company's new "Be Local-Sync Global" approach by allowing applications to share global information as if it was local with in-memory speed. The GigaSpaces Platform 2.5 unveils GigaSpaces' recent efforts to boost performance and scalability, to provide optimal Persistent Space support over IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) DB2, Cache, and Point Base, to better support XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. and C++, and to significantly reduce P2P See peer-to-peer and point-to-point. Cluster configuration efforts by using the new cluster wizard. These new features, together with the already existing Security, Clustering, Web Services, and JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) A programming interface that lets Java applications access a database via the SQL language. Since Java interpreters (Java Virtual Machines) are available for all major client platforms, this allows a platform-independent database support, provide a powerful and dynamic infrastructure for next generation applications and services. "GigaSpaces performance improvements were achieved by smart usage of a serialization se·ri·al·ize tr.v. se·ri·al·ized, se·ri·al·iz·ing, se·ri·al·iz·es To write or publish in serial form. se mechanism, which leads to a decrease in network traffic, and in fewer internal operations performed by product's kernel," said Yura Kupitman, GigaSpaces V.P. R&D. "GigaSpaces unsurpassed performance, achieved by using the 2.5 version in a P2P Cluster configuration and via an Embedded Space, which is a Space incorporated entirely into the application runtime environment, and both are running on the same JVM." "To address the rising demand in systems scalability, mostly in the mobile communication industry, and to address rising needs in Blades technology, GigaSpaces Platform 2.5 introduces a new communication layer that is based on JDK 1.4.x NIO NIO In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Nicaraguan Coroba Oro. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. mechanism," says Nati Shalom, GigaSpaces CTO. "It allows the system to scale easily up to many thousands of clients without degrading performance, compared to other available communication layers such as RMI."
