GridGain Software Editions

The GridGain® in-memory computing platform delivers unprecedented speed and unlimited scale to data-intensive applications. It is built on a memory-centric architecture which leverages ongoing advancements in memory and storage technologies to provide distributed in-memory computing performance with the cost and durability of disk storage. Users can achieve a 1,000x or more increase in performance while scaling out to petabytes of in-memory data across a cluster of commodity servers. GridGain enables high-performance ACID transactions, real-time streaming, continuous learning and fast analytics in a single, comprehensive data access and processing layer.

GridGain spans all key languages (Java, SQL, .NET, C++) and data stores (RDBMS, NoSQL, Hadoop) while offering ACID transactions and ANSI SQL-99 compliance. It is a comprehensive in-memory computing platform that includes a database-agnostic in-memory data grid, an in-memory database, a real-time streaming analytics engine, a "a href="/technology/in-memory-computing-platform/continuous-learning-framework>Continuous Learning Framework including machine learning and deep learning, and plug-and-play Hadoop acceleration.

The GridGain Professional Edition is a binary build of Apache Ignite™ which includes optional LGPL dependencies, such as Hibernate L2 cache integration and Geospatial Indexing.
