1.3.2. Remote Client-Server Mode

Remote Client-Server mode provides a managed, distributed and clusterable data grid server. Applications can remotely access the data grid server using Hot Rod, Memcached or REST client APIs.
All JBoss Data Grid operations in Remote Client-Server mode are non-transactional. As a result, a number of features cannot be performed when running JBoss Data Grid in Remote Client-Server mode.
However, there are a number of benefits to running JBoss Data Grid in Remote Client-Server mode if you do not require any features that require Library mode. Remote Client-Server mode is client language agnostic, provided there is a client library for your chosen protocol. As a result, Remote Client-Server mode provides:
  • easier scaling of the data grid.
  • easier upgrades of the data grid without impact on client applications.
