Scalable Performance for Web Applications with the VMware vFabric GemFire HTTP Session Management & Hibernate Cache Modules

  • Share session data between applications
  • Handle more user data under heavy load
  • Manage very large sessions efficiently
  • Leverage GemFire’s sophisticated in-memory data management capabilities including failover, recovery, and “shared-nothing” design
