Infinispan as Key – Value data store

Abstract: Biggest challenges long-faced by todays applications are unit growth of knowledge. Quantity of knowledge created and consumed is growing in size. It will increase further when complexity of application increases. Centralized solutions for storing and retrieving data aren't possible for several reasons. First reason is that the inability to scale as and once required. Single purpose of failure hinders handiness of the applications and therefore reducing potency. Owing to these shortcomings of centralized systems we move towards data grids. Data grids act as a middleware which will store massive set of data across distributed applications. Data grids distribute large sets of data across a group of servers over a network, therefore forming a cluster. Middleware ought to be ready to serve numerous platforms and storage systems. Data grids have to be compelled to be optimized to scale go in environments that manufacture and use large amounts of data. Infinispan is that the resolution that has of these options.
