GigaSpaces eXtreme Application Platform (XAP) provides a complete suite of virtualized middleware and a standards-based runtime environment for applications running on Amazon EC2. XAP allows you to predictably scale systems under any peak demand and guarantee performance under any data processing load. With XAP, you can deploy your existing applications on the cloud and get them running immediately, with no additional development or integration.

Benefits Today’s applications were not built with the cloud in mind and therefore cannot fully exploit the elasticity of the new virtualized environment. XAP provides unique benefits which allow you to get more out of the cloud:

• Portability – run your applications on any infrastructure – traditional, grid, private cloud, public cloud – and move applications easily between traditional and cloud platforms.
• Development flexibility – language interoperability, support for standards and open frameworks including Spring, JEE, Jetty and Glassfish.
• Peak loads economy – auto-scale your application to meet unpredictable fluctuating loads, with no change to architecture, code or configuration.
• Proven application platform – use a mature platform deployed in the most demanding mission-critical systems and supporting large numbers of concurrent users and large volumes of data (see customer case studies). XAP users enjoy high performance, predictable linear scalability, low latency and reliability, both on and off the cloud.
• Increased cost savings – with GigaSpaces XAP applications work faster and consume less resources. On the cloud, this translates into an immediate cost saving, because you need less CPU hours to meet the same service levels.
• High availability / self-healing – ensure your application is always-on, even during upgrades and configuration changes, with a clustered, partitioned, highly available platform that provides automatic self-healing capabilities and SLA-driven deployment.
• Deployment simplicity – fully automated deployment of the entire application stack (load balancer, web container, Data Grid, database, and messaging) in a matter of minutes.
