Pagosonline Integrates GigaSpaces XAP Into its Aggregation Platform

The eXtreme Application Platform (XAP) 7.1.1 from GigaSpaces has been integrated by Pagosonline.net S.A., into its Web-based payment processing and aggregation platform.

GigaSpaces (News - Alert) XAP will soon make it possible to set up a dynamic cluster for an application in one API call. Users can input their business requirements using the Elastic Data Grid, and XAP will translate those requirements into middleware configuration.

Companies can use XAP to deploy and scale distributed applications as it is an enterprise-grade, end-to-end in-memory application server. Software vendors and organizations can now more quickly and cost-effectively develop, manage, and scale their business-critical Java and .NET (News - Alert) applications, the company claims. Without any diminishing returns, Pagosonline can now linearly and dynamically scale its system with the help of XAP.

“Thanks to the flexibility of GigaSpaces technology, ISVs benefit from the same features and cost-efficiencies our large data-center-focused customers have long enjoyed,” said John Giubileo, GigaSpaces executive vice president and general manager, in a statement. “GigaSpaces technology and consultancy services provide software vendors with a long-term solution that supports both their data center and cloud-based application offerings. With XAP ISVs can take their existing applications and offer them as a service online.”

Pagosonline will be able to leverage XAP’s fully transactional, best-in-class, in-memory data grid, its parallel processing engine, and a reliable, high-performance messaging infrastructure by embedding XAP in its payments service platform. Without worrying about the underlying infrastructure, this ensures that the Pagosonline development team can focus on improved functionality. Pagosonline can transition from the data center to the cloud without a single code change if the company decides its needs are better served with part of the application infrastructure on the cloud.

Recently, the company released version 7.1 of the eXtreme Application Platform "XAP." This latest version is designed to automatically implement dynamic scalability and multi-tenancy, based on an organization's individual business requirements. With this development, XAP significantly simplifies development, deployment and operations while also enabling enterprises to maximize utilization of modern IT resources with no change to the way the company operates.
