Grid Computing in ActiveSpaces

ActiveSpaces uses grid computing to bring together computers in your network that can contribute their processing power, memory, and storage to solve a complex problem. ActiveSpaces uses grid computing concepts to store and process the contents of a data grid.

  • What Is a Data Grid?
    ActiveSpaces stores data in data grids. In a data grid, data is stored in the form of tables. A data grid is equivalent to a database of a traditional RDBMS.
  • How Is the Data Stored in a Data Grid?
    Unlike traditional RDBMS, a data grid is not stored in one place. An ActiveSpaces data grid leverages the storage capacity and computing power from multiple computers.
  • Replication
    To replicate data, you must configure the copysets in the data grid such that copyset_size is greater than 1.
