The feature facilitates greater awareness of the status of data in the remote cache, and the .NET Hot Rod client is fully supported in JBoss Data Grid.
Red Hat has integrated JBoss Data Grid with its data and services integration technology, Red Hat JBoss Fuse, which is designed to help reduce the risks involved with forcing application services match the slow traditional database.
JBoss Data Grid 6.5 is also supported as a shared, in-memory index for Hibernate Search (Lucene) queries on a relational database.
