Gemstone has released Gemfire Enterprise 6.0 featuring a cluster resource controller that continuously monitors resources in the distributed data fabric. GemFire enables applications to sense changing performance patterns and proactively provision extra resources and trigger rebalancing of predictable data access, throughput, and latency without the need to overprovision capacity.
The latest release of GemFire - an in-memory data management product - offers distributed event processing capabilities with the introduction of continuous querying and durable event notifications as well as other new features. InfoQ discussed with Jags Ramnarayan, Chief Architect at GemStone, about these new features and the product's roadmap.
