1.2. JBoss Data Grid Usage Modes


JBoss Data Grid offers two usage modes:
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.
Library mode
Library mode provides all the binaries required to build and deploy a custom runtime environment. The library usage mode allows local access to a single node in a distributed cluster. This usage mode gives the application access to data grid functionality within a virtual machine in the container being used. Supported containers include Tomcat 7 and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.
