GigaSpaces XAP, The Scale-out Application Server

The Benefits of GigaSpaces XAP for Amazon EC2:

• Scalable and reliable data layer: Out-of-the-box load-balancing, partitioning and fail-over -- providing scalability, performance and reliability for data-intensive and transactional applications
• Linear scalability on the cloud: When application components (such as data and business logic) need to interact across Amazon Machine Image (AMI) boundaries scalability is hindered. GigaSpaces enables running the entire transaction, computation or query within a single AMI and scale by clustering multiple AMIs
• Write Once Scale Anywhere: With GigaSpaces XAP, developers can write their application on their laptop as if it will run on a single box, and then scale across multiple EC2 servers without changing a single line of code
• Transparently scale applications from on-premise servers to the EC2 cloud: Run your application in-house and scale it on-demand on Amazon EC2 for handling peak loads
