PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/30/12 -- VMware, Inc.
(NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization and cloud
infrastructure, today announced the availability of
VMware
vFabric™ GemFire® 7.0, the premier in-memory data
platform delivering speed and dynamic scalability, together
with the reliability and data management capabilities of a
traditional database. Faster and more flexible than ever
before, this latest release enables users to process massive
quantities of data and scale within the cloud to suit the
needs of the user, while providing new tools to simplify
monitoring and management. Also included in this version is
native support for JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)
documents. Popular with mobile and other web developers,
vFabric GemFire brings high performance, scale-out,
transactional support and other enterprise-grade features to
JSON not available from competing data offerings.
"The monolithic database of the past cannot meet the
needs of modern applications," said Jerry Chen, Vice
President, Cloud and Application Services, VMware.
"Proven through nearly a decade of production
deployments in some of the most high-availability low-latency
applications, VMware vFabric™ GemFire® 7.0 solves difficult
data challenges presented by modern, highly distributed
web-oriented applications."
With this release, vFabric GemFire enables speed with
scalability in the cloud, supporting terabytes of data
in-memory and enabling high-performance within enterprise
production deployments. Engineered for low latency, vFabric
GemFire provides lightning fast, highly available and
scalable data access for highly transactional modern
applications, allowing businesses to run applications
significantly faster than a traditional database.
What's New in VMware vFabric GemFire 7.0:
-
Cloud scale at the speed of business - With
enhanced caching and wide area network (WAN) capabilities,
vFabric GemFire was engineered to support low-latency
applications that can scale to support terabytes of data
and hundreds of thousands of users. New, high-speed
parallel WAN processing allows customers to scale vFabric
GemFire across global sites without sacrificing speed or
performance.
-
Simplified monitoring and management - vFabric
GemFire includes new graphical dashboard and performance
monitoring capabilities that give customers visibility
across distributed vFabric GemFire environments through a
single console. A simplified command line interface (CLI)
and new "DataBrowser" functionality allow
customers to easily view data, make queries and control all
aspects of the vFabric GemFire environment.
-
Increased developer productivity - vFabric
GemFire's modern APIs and integration with the Spring
framework speed and simplify development. Now, vFabric
GemFire includes integration with the Spring Data GemFire
project, including documentation and code samples to make
it even easier to develop and support scalable,
transactional enterprise applications. Further,
applications using Memcached can transition smoothly to
vFabric GemFire with minimal to zero developer impact since
vFabric GemFire 7.0 supports the Memcached client protocol.
-
JSON document support - vFabric GemFire 7.0
natively supports storing and querying of JSON documents.
vFabric GemFire brings enterprise-grade capabilities to a
JSON store including very low latency, horizontal
scale-out, transaction support, security and continuous
query. It supports the ability to query between multiple
JSON documents as well as across JSON documents and
key/value objects. With this new capability, vFabric
GemFire can be effectively used as a production-ready
backend document store for REST and mobile applications.
Leading global 1,000 companies utilize vFabric GemFire
including those in the financial services industry, online
retail, travel and many others.
