Although one can use Coherence as a memory cache layer on top of a DB, many customer use it in the financial sector as a in-memory key/value store.
Think of transient data that doesn't need to be saved, but needs to scale out across hundreds or thousands of nodes. memcached is making progress, but it is not comparable to coherence today. Eventually it will probably get there. On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 1:00 PM, mcasandra <mohitanch...@gmail.com> wrote: > Coherence is similar to memcachd (free).
