Start-up GridGain Inc. says its distributed, in-memory SQL database has the potential to “democratize” in-memory computing.
GridGain is saying and doing the right things. In March, for example, it made the non-Enterprise Edition of its in-memory computing platform available (under the Apache Software Foundation’s Apache 2.0 license) on the GitHub code repository. That gives it a free and accessible software delivery channel. In addition, officials argue, GridGain’s distributed architecture gives it a kind of democratic applicability: the GridGain In-Memory Computing Platform was designed with highly distributed REST-ful apps in mind. GridGain’s SQL database technology supports streaming, has a Hadoop accelerator, and is ACID-compliant.
“I believe that the change from traditional application architectures to in-memory is going to be as widespread and profound as the Web was — and as cloud was and still is,” argued Jon Webster, vice president of business development, during an interview with TDWI late last year.
