Build scalable, high-performance software with IBM's data grid Get experience with the API eXtreme Scale, and understand the different approaches to using gridsIntroduction data into a new design pattern for both eXtreme Scale and grid data in generalTutorial style guide through the main features of the data grid and data grid librariesStart working through sample code and walkthrough clear In Detail A data grid is a way to combine computing resources. Data grids provide a way to distribute the object storage and add capacity on demand in the form of CPU, memory, and network resources from additional servers. WebSphere eXtreme Scale provides a solution to scalability issues through caching and grid technology. Working with data grid requires a new approach to writing software is very scalable; book covers both the practical library eXtreme Scale and design patterns that will help you build scalable software. Starting with a blank slate, this book assumes you do not have experience with IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale. It will also show you how to use eXtreme Scale in new projects, and integrate with relational databases and existing applications. This book covers ObjectMap, Body, and the Query API to interact with objects in the grid. At the end of this book, you will be able to write software using the API eXtreme Scale, and take advantage of the linear scalable middleware layer. What you will learn from this book? Explore various ways to interact with data in the example gridConfigure ObjectGrid programmatically and via configuration XML filesAchieve extreme performance by using the agent Explore the practical use of data grid grid data box and databaseConfigure patternsIntegrate eXtreme Scale for long-term use through capacity-educated planningConfigure ObjectGrid client applications using your database SpringGive shock-absorber with putting the data grid in front of thousands of concurrent client itSupport by adding capacity to the network and scale out your data with a fixed linearlyProtect on rack servers in multiple data and some centersExplore features of WebSphere eXtreme Scale by expanding repertoire of Entities and Queries Approach This book is a real-world practical tutorial with many examples. Who is this book written for? This book is aimed at intermediate level JavaEE Developers who want to build applications that handle larger data sets with massive scalability requirements.
