SAN FRANCISCO, USA: GridGain Systems has announced the general availability of GridGain 3.0, the next version of cloud application platforms for Java ecosystem.

GridGain 3.0 is the industry first cloud application platform that combines computation and data grid technologies in one integrated product. It also adds patent-pending zero deployment and zero provisioning technology to enable radically simplified auto-scaling on any managed infrastructure said a press release.

Nikita Ivanov, CEO, GridGain Systems said, "GridGain 3.0 is truly innovative piece of software on so many levels. To begin, we are the first in industry to provide our customers with two pieces of technology absolutely critical for highly scalable business applications — compute and data grids - integrated in one product eliminating the costly integration of multiple products from different vendors."

Nikita added, with introduction of native Scala language support we let our customer use the same programming language and technology that at the core of mission critical systems for companies like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. 

And with “Cloud-as-a-VM” virtualization technology developers can treat the entire cloud as a single virtualized VM enabling radically simplified development of highly scalable cloud applications — all without a need for expensive proprietary hardware solutions, concluded Nikita.

GridGain 3.0 supports all major operating systems and requires Java 6 and Scala 2.8 or later.
