ScaleOut StateServer(R) Version 5.1 Extends In-Memory Data Grid With C++ APIs and New Offerings

BELLEVUE, WA--(Marketwired - Jan 7, 2014) - ScaleOut Software, a leading provider of in-memory data grids (IMDGs), today announced the availability of ScaleOut StateServer Version 5.1. The latest version includes C++ APIs, additional solutions on Amazon Web Services, a Windows version of ScaleOut hServer, performance improvements in data management, and SSL support for enhanced security.

ScaleOut provides in-memory data grid (IMDG) products with breakthrough performance to the rapidly expanding in-memory computing market. ScaleOut's products enable applications to seamlessly scale performance to handle increasing workloads and provide real-time analytics.

"With this release, C++ developers now can easily integrate ScaleOut's IMDG into their applications to provide scalable performance, as well as parallel query and integrated real-time analytics for applications written in C++," said Bill Bain, ScaleOut's CEO. "The added capabilities in Version 5.1 also introduce significant enhancements to ScaleOut StateServer's features and performance and broaden its availability in the cloud."
