1.1. About JBoss Data Grid
JBoss Data Grid is a distributed in-memory data grid, which provides the following capabilities:
- Schemaless key-value store – Red Hat JBoss Data Grid is a NoSQL database that provides the flexibility to store different objects without a fixed data model.
- Grid-based data storage – Red Hat JBoss Data Grid is designed to easily replicate data across multiple nodes.
- Elastic scaling – Adding and removing nodes is achieved simply and is non-disruptive.
- Multiple access protocols – It is easy to access the data grid using REST, Memcached, Hot Rod, or simple map-like API.
JBoss Data Grid 6.1 and JBoss Data Grid 6.1 Beta is based on Infinispan version 5.2.
