GigaSpaces on the Cloud Empowering Amazon EC2 with GigaSpaces XAP

GigaSpaces@EC2 - Motivation: Hardware virtualization is great, but it’s not enough: Traditional tier-based architectures are not fit for virtualized environments Will not benefit from additional CPU power

GigaSpaces@EC2 - Motivation:

Hardware virtualization is great, but it’s not enough:

Traditional tier-based architectures are not fit for virtualized environments

Will not benefit from additional CPU power

Hard to install (“how do I cluster that database ??”) Bound to static resources (IPs, disk drives, etc.) Hard to scale (separate clustering model for each tier) Hard to maintain Ever Tried to Deploy This on the Cloud? Business/Services Tier Back-up Back-up Back-up Data Tier Messaging B C A Back-up

Hard to install (“how do I cluster that database ??”)

Bound to static resources (IPs, disk drives, etc.)

Hard to scale (separate clustering model for each tier)

Hard to maintain

There’s only so much a traditional tier-based application can do…

To take full advantage of the cloud, Your application’s architecture needs to change

It needs to be elastic : Grow (and shrink) as needed, based on work loads But with no downtime And with a corresponding performance improvement

And with a corresponding performance improvement

It needs to be efficient : By doing (much) more with the same resources: Via distributed in memory technologies Which means (much) higher throughput and (much) lower latency

GigaSpaces XAP Value Proposition: A Scale-Out Application Platform Optimized for distributed and virtualized environments: Any deployment platform: clouds, grids, commodity servers, SMPs Any language: Spring/Java, .Net, C++, dynamic languages SLA driven – grow and shrink based on the application’s load

GigaSpaces XAP Value Proposition:

A Scale-Out Application Platform

Optimized for distributed and virtualized environments:

Any deployment platform: clouds, grids, commodity servers, SMPs

Any language: Spring/Java, .Net, C++, dynamic languages

SLA driven – grow and shrink based on the application’s load

GigaSpaces XAP is driven by the need to predictably handle fluctuating demand and peak loads

GigaSpaces XAP is driven by the need to get guaranteed performance under any processing load

GigaSpaces XAP is driven by the need for cost-effective, on-demand scalability for clouds and grids
