(GNS GNS GEOnet Names Server (NIMA) GNS Global Network Services (INMARSAT) GNS Guinea Franc GNS Get Nearest Server (component of IPX and SAP) GNS Global Navigation System ), today announced a partnership with GigaSpaces Technologies, the first commercial implementation of Sun Microsystems' JavaSpaces(TM) technology. The partnership enables GNS and GigaSpaces to deliver an integrated solution to help global businesses share and exchange information between multiple applications, platforms and sites seamlessly and without compromise on performance. GigaSpaces Platform is a Synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. and Coordination software infrastructure, designed for information collaboration See data conferencing. of Enterprise Distributed Applications and Services. It is designed to meet the needs of large scale enterprise applications that need to synchronize See synchronization. , share and exchange information as well as activities, between its distributed components in a loosely coupled See loose coupling. , efficient and simple manner. The many benefits include caching, clustering (including replication, fail-over, and load balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them ) for application scalability, 24x7 availability, parallel distributed processing The first term used to describe the distribution of multiple computers throughout an organization in contrast to a centralized system. It started with the first minicomputers. Today, distributed processing is called "distributed computing." See also client/server. , automatic synchronization of services, security, and support of industry standards. This unique combination of both messaging and database capabilities provided by the platform makes it ideal for solving common collaboration, and distributed computation tasks, and easing the development of these applications. The platform is already being used in many industries such as financial, mobile communication, defense, healthcare and enterprise portals.
