On the same day that Larry Ellison announced Oracle's In-Memory Computing
strategy, the company Hazelcast announced Hazelcast Enterprise, the
company's own commercial In-Memory Computing solution. Hazelcast provides
a radically different vision of In-Memory Computing driven by open-source,
commodity hardware and open standards. Hazelcast is a leading open-source
In-Memory Data Grid and is available under the Apache software license.
Meanwhile, Hazelcast Enterprise extends the open-source Hazelcast core with
commercial features and is a commercially licensed software offering. The
features in the enterprise offering that extend the Hazelcase open core
include .NET and C++ clients, off-heap memory, improved Web sessions, Tomcat
6 and 7 Web sessions clustering, WAN copy, WAN replication to enterprise and
improved security. Hazelcast itself also features the
"Stabilizer", a
sophisticated stress and load-testing system for ensuring the reliability of
production-scale grid systems.
