Companies need a data-processing solution that increases the speed of business agility, not one that is complicated by too many technology requirements. This requires a system that delivers continuous/real-time data-processing capabilities for the new business reality.
Stream processing is a hot topic right now, especially for any organization looking to provide insights faster. But what does it mean for users of Java applications, microservices, and in-memory computing? In this webinar, we will cover the evolution of stream processing and in-memory related to big data technologies and why it is the logical next step for in-memory processing projects.
Setting up servers and configuring software can get in the way of the problems you are trying to solve. With Hazelcast Cloud we take all of those pain points away. Watch this webinar to learn how you can instantly fire up and then work with Hazelcast Cloud from anywhere in the world. With our auto-generated client stubs for Java, Go, Node.js, Python and .NET, we can have you connected and coding in less than a minute!
Operating in today’s always-on, high-volume, high-speed, high-expectation world requires a different level of processing enablement. When microseconds can mean the difference between success and failure, Hazelcast in-memory caching solutions can deliver blinding speed with scalable and flexible data caching.

Overview
Caching puts actively used data in memory, where it can be accessed significantly more quickly. While this sounds simple, it can become very complex, as real-world systems are wildly diverse and constantly changing. Through meticulous engineering, deep caching expertise, and a focused commitment to customer needs, Hazelcast handles that diversity with a robust in-memory computing platform, delivering the benefits of distributed caching where high-speed, high-volume systems need it most.
Hazelcast’s relentless pursuit of speed has made our in-memory data grid (IMDG) the fastest distributed cache available. As a fully in-memory data store, Hazelcast IMDG can transform and ingest data at blinding speeds, often shrinking milliseconds into microseconds. Because Hazelcast IMDG is built from the ground up as a distributed technology, it leverages the power of distributed processing while effectively eliminating the impact of network latency.
Hazelcast in-memory caching is designed to scale quickly and smoothly. And nodes cluster automatically, without production interruptions. A multitude of scaling options are offered, including High-Density Memory Store for large-scale enterprise use cases. Naturally, the Hazelcast In-Memory Computing Platform is cloud-ready, and elastic scaling makes it a perfect fit.
Hazelcast IMDG offers a wealth of development, deployment, and operational choices. Customers can take advantage of the powerful and easy-to-use JCache standard API through client-server or cluster-only architectures. Our in-memory computing platform also integrates seamlessly with popular frameworks and libraries like Spring, Memcached, and Hibernate.
The Hazelcast In-Memory Computing Platform puts the power of cache management within reach and keeps the total cost of ownership low by focusing on ease of development, implementation, and operation. The platform is surprisingly simple to set up and configure, offering remarkable resilience and high availability.
Speed in information processing is great, regardless of the industry or application. Speed at scale is a whole different level of opportunity. Speed at scale while maintaining stability? That’s what you need if you’re going to drive transformative change in your organization, and keep happy customers coming back.
The Hazelcast In-Memory Computing Platform delivers world-class, in-memory caching solutions, based on a distributed architecture that is wildly fast and seamlessly scalable.

Features
Cache management enables the monitoring and management of members running Hazelcast IMDG. In addition to monitoring the overall state of clusters, The Hazelcast Management Center can also analyze and browse data structures in detail, update map configurations, and take thread dump from members.
Hazelcast IMDG Enterprise HD scales up data sizes using High-Density Memory Store, a way for Java applications to access multiple terabytes of memory per cluster member without long and unpredictable garbage collection pauses. This memory store provides the benefits of “off-heap” memory using a variety of proprietary high-performance memory management techniques.
Allows multiple Hazelcast IMDG clusters to be kept in sync by replicating their state over WAN environments such as the Internet. Hazelcast IMDG supports both Active-Passive and Active-Active modes for most common scenarios of WAN Replication.
A high-performance option included in Hazelcast IMDG Enterprise HD in addition to the basic reliability options (write-through and write-behind). This persistence feature of Hot Restart Store provides fast cluster restarts by storing the states of the cluster members on disk in a format specially designed for restart performance and to work in concert with SSDs.
A rich set of JAAS-based security features that authenticate cluster members and clients in order to perform authorization checks on client operations. Socket Interceptor, Security Interceptor, Encryption, SSL, Credentials and ClusterLoginModule, Cluster Member Security, and Native Client Security are the main components of the security suite.
Allows an upgrade to a running Hazelcast IMDG cluster without service disruption, data loss, or interruption to execution. Hazelcast IMDG members and clients can be upgraded in a running cluster without interrupting operations.
Certified native images enable IMDG Enterprise and Enterprise HD to run in leading enterprise cloud container environments including Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
Hazelcast IMDG enables caching when connected to a persistent data store such as a relational database. The most common access patterns are read-through, write-through, and write-behind.
Use Cases
Hazelcast provides a cache-as-a-service for scalable, reliable, and fast caching. Applications can use Hazelcast as side-cache to their database, or place the database in-line behind the caching service.
Hazelcast smoothly integrates with Hibernate 3 and Hibernate 4, providing distributed caching support based on Hazelcast IMap technology. Features like scalability, in-memory backups, and automatic eviction are fundamentals of the Hazelcast architecture. Hazelcast brings those features to the Hibernate world.
Hazelcast IMDG® can be used as cache for applications based on the Spring Framework – distributing shared data in real time.
Hazelcast enables organizations to seamlessly integrate with JCache. These operations can help to scale out applications and manage their high-speed access to their frequently used data. Hazelcast smoothly achieves its caching potential with a 100 percent compliant implementation that transparently registers with the JCache subsystem.
