1.2. JBoss Data Grid Usage Modes
JBoss Data Grid offers two usage modes:
- 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.
- Library mode
- Library mode provides all the binaries required to build and deploy a custom runtime environment. The library usage mode allows local access to a single node in a distributed cluster. This usage mode gives the application access to data grid functionality within a virtual machine in the container being used. Supported containers include Tomcat 7 and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.
