Infinispan is a distributed cache[1] and key-value NoSQL data store software developed by Red Hat. Java applications can embed it as library, use it as a service in WildFly[2][1] or any non-java applications[3] can use it, as remote service through TCP/IP.[4]

History

Infinispan is the successor of JBoss Cache.[1] The project was announced in 2009.

Features

Usage

Typical use-cases for Infinispan include:

Infinispan is also used in academia and research as a framework for distributed execution and storage.

  • Cloud2Sim[6] leverages Infinispan for its distributed execution of MapReduce workflows and simulations.
  • MEDIator data sharing synchronization platform for medical image archives[7] leverages Infinispan as its distributed in-memory storage, as well as distributed execution framework.
  • Cassowary[8] uses Infinispan to store the context information in-memory, in order to provide the middleware platform for context-aware smart buildings.
