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
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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.
