Infinispan and the future of data grids
Abstract
"In this talk, Infinispan founder and JBoss Cache project lead Manik Surtani introduces the role of data grids in today's cloud-computing environment. The extreme scalability offered by data grids are powering the greatest and most high-profile of today's applications, and data grids take on a far more prominent role in cloud deployments as traditional databases hit scalability and resilience issues. In his talk Surtani introduces Infinispan, the new open source data grid platform, and it's motivations and evolution as a project. Distributed data structures and the use of data grids as a viable, cloud-ready data storage mechanism will be discussed in depth."
