Chapter 1. JBoss Data Grid 7.2.3

1.1. Introduction to Red Hat JBoss Data Grid

JBoss Data Grid is an open source, distributed, in-memory key/value data store built from the Infinispan open source software project. JBoss Data Grid is designed to provide elastic, high performance, highly available capabilities that scale linearly.

You can deploy JBoss Data Grid as a server in Remote Client-Server mode or embedded in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in Library mode to distribute and replicate data across a cluster of nodes.

JBoss Data Grid allows you to optionally write data to disk and provides access to data from a variety of clients as well as through a RESTful API, the Memcached and Hot Rod protocols, or directly in process through a Java Map API.
