Original Press Release:
Tangosol Extends Data Grid Support to Microsoft .NET
SOMERVILLE, Mass., March 20 /-- Tangosol, Inc., the leading provider of reliable data grid solutions, today announced the general availability of Coherence for the Microsoft .NET Framework, extending the power, scalability, and utility of Coherence Data Grid to Microsoft .NET-based applications.
Coherence Data Grid manages data in memory across data grids, offering scalable performance that enables true linear growth; automatic, dynamic and transparent reliability of data; and reduced latency and rapid data access for customers, partners, and employees.
Microsoft .NET-based applications and Java are the predominant infrastructures for mission-critical enterprise applications and Web services. Since its introduction in 2000, the .NET framework has come to be considered a secure strategy for future application platform development, and adoption of .NET continues to grow.
Companies such as Honeywell, GlaxoSmithKline, Sony, Dollar Rent A Car, Farmers Insurance, and the U.S. Postal Service are just a few of the well- known names that rely on the .NET framework.
Coherence for the .NET Framework allows Microsoft .NET applications to access Coherence clustered services, including data, data events, and data processing from outside the Coherence cluster. Typical uses of Coherence for the .NET Framework include desktop and Web applications that require access to Coherence caches.
This new offering from Tangosol provides native C# connectivity to the Coherence Data Grid. It gives Microsoft .NET applications first class access to data and services on an enterprise-wide data grid, and all of the proven benefits of Coherence, including the ability to:
- Reliably and predictably scale application performance;
- Enable enterprise-wide data virtualization;
- Increase the utility of back-end data sources;
- Perform powerful data grid based analytics, transactions and event processing.
"Our customers requested additional functionality in the area of data grid access," said Thom Robbins, director of .NET Platform Product Management, Microsoft. "We are impressed with Tangosol's ability to further enable native Microsoft .NET support for data grid access, and the additional options it provides for members of the .NET community."
"With Coherence Data Grid, we saw a 100 times improvement in performance and extended this exceptional capability to support out .NET environment, where we have seen similar results," Tony Bishop, senior vice president at Wachovia, noted at a recent conference hosted by Waters Magazine. Wachovia relies on grid computing for analytics in trading areas and risk calculations for the market and credit risk areas.
"Coherence Data Grid has been rapidly adopted as 'the platform of choice' for data virtualization. Ensuring that the Microsoft.NET computing can have equal access to the virtues of a data grid is a strategic focus for our company," noted Cameron Purdy, CEO, Tangosol.
Coherence for the .NET Framework is available immediately.
