Why Cloud Computing?

Business computing is rapidly changing from a fixed model to a dynamically scalable cloud architecture where growth can happen efficiently and on-demand. The need for a scalable, reliable solutions that deliver superior results has never been greater. Businesses across industries are demanding high performance applications that can keep up with company growth and expanding data volumes. Yet, traditional IT approaches cannot meet this need in an efficient or cost-effective way.

Why GigaSpaces on the Cloud?

Traditional application platforms and middleware do not allow applications to truly take advantage of the cloud, as they are built for static environments. GigaSpaces XAP on the cloud closes this painful gap by allowing data-intensive, transactional applications to grow and shrink on-demand and do so seamlessly with complete reliability and high performance.

GigaSpaces XAP is used in production in the world's most demanding applications, and now also on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to scale various Web 2.0 and Enterprise applications.

ROI Taken to the next level

GigaSpaces XAP on the cloud introduce a pay-per-use model, you didn’t use, you didn’t pay. It allows you to save significant costs, reduce risk and shorten Time-To-Market.

• Only pay for the hardware and software resources you use when you actually use them (learn more about our pay-per-use pricing policy)
• Significantly shorten testing and development cycles
• Seamlessly scale your application in the cloud on-demand to handle unexpected (and expected) peaks without a need for repeated development and administrative efforts
• Reduce latency and increase throughput resulting in significant decrease in the number of servers you need to handle the same application loads
• Cloud-Enable' and “Future Proof” your applications to reduce the risk of moving to the cloud

Cloud Portability

GigaSpaces enables cloud portability allowing businesses to move on-site applications to the cloud and between clouds.
GigaSpaces partners with the leading cloud vendors and solution providers in the market today - Amazon EC2, RightScale, GoGrid, Joyent, Flexiscale, CohesiveFT and more to come, allowing our customers the flexibility of selecting the cloud of their choice according to their specific needs.

The GigaSpaces Cloud Framework

GigaSpaces offers a unique cloud framework which brings forth 3 key concepts that are essential to successfully develop, test and deploy any scalable transaction applications on the cloud:

“Desktop on the cloud”
View the cloud environment, as if it was your own desktop. You can develop and unit-test using any familiar development tools and then deploy to the cloud with zero code-changes.

“One-Click cloud”
Once your application is ready for production, you can seamlessly deploy it on any number of cloud nodes without any configuration, administration or application changes.

Dynamic Scaling on demand
Dynamically add cloud nodes and the application will simply scale, with zero down time, to handle this additional capacity
