Red Hat Data Grid 8 Feature Support

Red Hat Data Grid 8 Feature Support

Red Hat Data Grid supports two usage modes

Server Mode

Run Data Grid as managed and distributed cluster that you can scale to meet demand. Client applications remotely access Data Grid through endpoints such as Hot Rod or REST.

Embedded Mode

Build and deploy Data Grid as a single node in your application runtime, where the application process and cache share the same JVM memory. In Embedded Mode, Data Grid can remotely access nodes hosted in other JVMs across your environment.
Data Grid supports Embedded Mode in application containers such as JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) or as standalone applications.

Start with Data Grid 8.1

Red Hat Data Grid 8.1 was released shortly after 8.0.GA with a number of improvements like additional security and conflict resolution for active/active, asynchronous cross-site deployments.
If you have not yet installed Data Grid, use 8.1 at a minimum. If you are running, Data Grid 8.0, upgrade to 8.1 at a minimum.
Visit the Data Grid documentation to get started.
