TIBCO ActiveSpaces Overview

TIBCO ActiveSpaces® is a peer-to-peer distributed in-memory data grid—a form of virtual shared memory that is replicated on distributed devices and applications.

ActiveSpaces provides an application programming interface (API) that allows developers to store and retrieve data and implement database and messaging functionality. ActiveSpaces also provides an administrative CLI tool and an administrative GUI that you use to create and administer the data grid. This makes it easy to create distributed applications that exchange and modify data shared between processes and across a network.

  • Benefits of TIBCO ActiveSpaces
    ActiveSpaces provides coherent, in-memory, data storage and retrieval. It supports several network data transport options, including TCP and TIBCO SmartPGM. ActiveSpaces also provides an API that can be used to develop custom applications which use the features of ActiveSpaces. An API is available for the Java, C, and .NET programming languages.
  • TIBCO ActiveSpaces Features
    ActiveSpaces combines some of the important features of a database and a messaging system in a single integrated interface.
  • Usage Profiles
    The ActiveSpaces data grid can solve a variety of application problems.
  • In-Memory Operational Data Store
    A real-time data store aggregates data from multiple sources to speed processing.
  • Space-Based Architecture
    When designing a new system from scratch, a space-based approach provides several advantages.
  • Grid Computing
    Grid computing refers to using multiple machines or nodes to solve a large computing problem. A complex problem is decomposed into smaller pieces that can be executed across many machines in parallel.
  • Deployment Models
    ActiveSpaces provides the peer-to-peer and remote client deployment modes.
  • Distributed Data Cache
    You can use ActiveSpaces as a distributed data cache to store copies of data that is too expensive to fetch or compute.
