| <H1>GemFire Distributed Object Caching</H1> | |
| <P>GemFire's distributed caching allows application access to | |
| distributed and cached data across multiple physical machines. | |
| GemFire's main API for accessing distributed data is the {@linkplain | |
| org.apache.geode.cache.Region} | |
| <P>GemFire provides a flexible and powerful API for distributed object | |
| caching. The API is particularly well-suited for caching application | |
| data and contains classes for receiving data events, reading and | |
| writing data to and from external sources, querying cached data using | |
| OQL, performing transactional operations, and active monitoring of | |
| data and data VMs.</P> | |
| <P>A discussion of the Distributed Caching API and GemFire's | |
| implementation of it can be found {@linkplain | |
| org.apache.geode.cache here}.</P> | |
