- Apache Ignite - Apache Ignite is an up and coming open source IMDG whose key differentiating aspec is that it can act as a regular SQL database using standard JDBC/ODBC/.NET drivers. 🌐
- Hazelcast - Hazelcast is a commercial (support & premium features) but otherwise open source IMDG written in Java that differentiates itself from the likes of Redis in terms of in-grid computational capabilities and advanced sharding and replication mechanisms as well as special focus on making redundant other "glue" messaging solutions. 🌐
- In-Memory Data Grid - An in-memory data grid (IMDG) is an extended distributed cache that features compute capabilities as opposed to simply data storage. In general, IMDGs is a term used by commercial vendors to distinguish themselves from supposedly simpler open source alternatives. 🌐
- Oracle Coherence - Oracle Coherence was one of the first "big vendor" caching solutions that made the IMDG concept popular. It is, arguably, a product neglected by Oracle and is often seen as a legacy product for which a migration strategy is recommended. 🌐
