Red Hat and Azul Collaborate for High Density In-Memory Data Storage

Alliance expands the scale and performance of
JBoss Data Grid for big data environments
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that it is bringing high density
storage capabilities to its in-memory data management technology,
Red Hat JBoss Data Grid, through an expanded alliance with Azul
Systems. The agreement builds on a prior collaboration between the
two companies and provides entitlements for Azul Zing with JBoss
Data Grid subscriptions, enabling customers to better meet speed
and volume needs for their big data environments.
Azul's Zing runtime for Java is designed to support high
performance on-heap storage, making it well-suited for JBoss Data
Grid deployments that feature large in-memory data sets. By
providing Zing with JBoss Data Grid, Red Hat is extending support
for persistent operation of Java instances that can manage up to
eight terabytes of memory, designed to reduce the number of nodes
needed in the cluster and simplify deployment and management.
Garbage collection pauses can be costly in industries where
speed, consistency of performance, and uptime are important and
data volume is increasing. Zing's C4 Garbage Collector is designed
to eliminate these application execution hiccups that can be common
in Java environments – a problem that can be exacerbated by the
larger JVM heaps required for high performance big data
applications. For these applications, JBoss Data Grid and Zing can
offer consistent performance and scale.
Through the agreement, Zing is available as a zero-cost upgrade
option for JBoss Data Grid users with support contracts.
