Typical use-cases for Infinispan include: •
Distributed cache, often in front of a
database • Storage for temporal data, like web
sessions • In-memory
data processing and
analytics • Cross-
JVM communication and shared storage • MapReduce Implementation in the In-Memory Data Grid. • Embedding storing (Vector Search) Infinispan is also used in academia and research as a framework for distributed execution and storage. • Cloud2Sim leverages Infinispan for its distributed execution of MapReduce workflows and simulations. • MEDIator data sharing synchronization platform for medical image archives leverages Infinispan as its distributed in-memory storage, as well as distributed execution framework. • Cassowary uses Infinispan to store the context information in-memory, in order to provide the middleware platform for context-aware smart buildings. == See also ==
