Experts in Extreme Transaction Processing (XTP)

Cloud & Grid Computing

We are a global consulting firm specialized in extreme performance and scalability of applications, web sites and network systems.

► Why 'extreme'?  The Internet continues to challenge the limits of traditional enterprise systems by exposing companies to growing volumes of users, messages, transactions, data etc. To master the exploding business opportunities of the Internet, companies must rethink how they design, build and manage their applications.

► What is 'extreme'? Scaling out from 1 to 1000 or more servers, less than 10 milliseconds to complete a transaction and 100% availability.

A growing number of organizations have these kind of requirements; few have the right expertise to build them in-house. J4S designs, tests and deploys those systems alongside the world's most innovative creators and users of technology. Our value to all clients is sharing this expertise.

  • GIGASPACES

GigaSpaces' eXtreme Application Platform is an application server built to scale that provides you a way to see your entire set of computers as one single, simple runtime environment in which both your processes and your data can reside, enabling predictable improvement of application performance while you increase the volume of data, transactions, and number of users, with no real need to rearchitect.

  • GRIDGAIN

GridGain is an Open Cloud Platform. With hardware virtualization offered by cloud providers GridGain provides developers with powerfull and elegant technology to develop and run applications on the cloud. GridGain is developed in Java and for Java developers and it is a natural extension of the latest Java development methodologies including annotations, integration of Spring and AOP-based grid-enabling. GridGain is squarelly focused on one thing - providing the best Java software middleware that allows to develop complex grid applications on the cloud infrastructure in a simple and productive way.

  • TERRACOTTA

Terracotta is open source infrastructure software that makes it inexpensive and easy to scale a Java application to as many computers as needed, without the usual custom application code and databases used to share data in a cluster. Terracotta manages mission critical data using Network-Attached Memory (NAM) technology. NAM enables Terracotta to cluster Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) directly underneath applications, and is a proven runtime approach to providing Java applications both high availability and scalability.

  • TANGOSOL/COHERENCE

Oracle Coherence is a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware that enables organizations to predictably scale mission-critical applications by providing fast and reliable access to frequently used data. By automatically and dynamically partitioning data in memory across multiple servers, Oracle Coherence enables continuous data availability and transactional integrity, even in the event of a server failure. As a shared infrastructure, Oracle Coherence combines data locality with local processing power to perform real-time data analysis, in-memory grid computations, and parallel transaction and event processing.

  • GEMFIRE

GemFire is an Enterprise Data Fabric (EDF) solution from GemStone Systems, Inc. It is a high performance, distributed memory-oriented operational data management infrastructure that offers very low latency, high resiliency, scalability and high throughput data sharing and event distribution features for high performance computing applications that need access to real-time data.

  • PROACTIVE

ProActive Parallel Suite is an Open Source middleware (OW2 consortium) for parallel, distributed, multi-core computing. ProActive tools simplify the programming and execution of parallel applications on: Multi-core processors, Distributed Local Area Network (LAN), Clusters and Data Center Servers, GRIDs, and on OS such as Linux, Windows, Mac.
