Distributed Java Cache - by Manik Surtani from JBoss

Databases are great...until they become your application bottleneck. In this session, we will quickly look at where distributed caches make sense. From there we will dive into building a web app...adding a distributed cache, and then looking at transactionality of the cache as well as clustering and elastic scaling of the cache. We will also specifically look at Infinispan, the distributed Java Cache from JBoss and implementation reference for JSR-347.

Bio
Manik Surtani is a core R&D engineer at JBoss, a division of Red Hat. He is the founder of the Infinispan project, which he currently leads. He is also the spec lead of JSR 347 (Data Grids for the Java Platform), and represents Red Hat on the Expert Group of JSR 107 (Temporary caching for Java). His interests lie in cloud and distributed computing, autonomous systems and highly available computing. He has a background in artificial intelligence and neural networks, a field he left behind when he moved from academic circles to the commercial world. Since then, he's been working with Java-related technologies, first for a startup focusing on knowledge management and information exchange, and later for a large London-based consultancy as a tech lead focused on e-commerce applications on large Java EE and peer-to-peer technology. Surtani is a strong proponent of open source development methodologies, ethos, and collaborative processes, and has been involved in open source since his first forays into computing.
