1.3. Red Hat JBoss Data Grid Usage Modes


Red Hat JBoss Data Grid offers two usage modes:
  • Remote Client-Server mode
  • Library mode

1.3.1. Remote Client-Server Mode

Remote Client-Server mode provides a managed, distributed, and clusterable data grid server. Applications can remotely access the data grid server using Hot Rod, Memcached or REST client APIs.
All Red Hat JBoss Data Grid operations in Remote Client-Server mode are non-transactional. As a result, a number of features cannot be performed when running JBoss Data Grid in Remote Client-Server mode.
There are a number of benefits to running JBoss Data Grid in Remote Client-Server mode if Library mode features are not required. Remote Client-Server mode is client language agnostic, provided there is a client library for your chosen protocol. As a result, Remote Client-Server mode provides:
  • easier scaling of the data grid.
  • easier upgrades of the data grid without impact on client applications.
Run the following commands to start JBoss Data Grid in Remote Client-Server mode.
For Linux:
$JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
For Windows:
$JBOSS_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
