Are there any alternatives to Gigaspaces? [closed]

Question

Anything thats as good and as stable and as feature-rich as gigaspaces?

Answer 1

Gigaspaces is top notch as far as a Javaspaces implementation goes for scalability and performance. Are you restricted to a Javaspaces implementation? Blitz Javaspaces is top notch for a free product.

Answer 2

As the first answer says, what are your criteria? There's a number of commercial and open-source tools in the same space (but not Javaspaces-based):

• Oracle Coherence
• Gemstone's Gemfire
• Terracotta (a degree of overlap, but not quite in the same space)
• GridGain (does the grid bit, but not the distributed cache bit)

Answer 3

Cheers!
P.S.: I am also interested in people opinions regarding this matter.

Answer 4

I'd suggest taking a look at Gartner's "Competitive Landscape: In-Memory Data Grids" at http://www.gartner.com/technology/reprints.do?id=1-1HCCIMJ&ct=130718&st=sb
