 # Overview
 
-Geode is a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures.
+[Apache Geode] (http://geode.incubator.apache.org/) is a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures.
 
-Geode pools memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes to manage application objects and behavior. It uses dynamic replication and data partitioning techniques to implement high availability, improved performance, scalability, and fault tolerance. In addition to being a distributed data container, Geode is an in-memory data management system that provides reliable asynchronous event notifications and guaranteed message delivery.

-Geode is an extremely mature and robust product that can trace its legacy all the way back to one of the first Object Databases for Smalltalk: GemStone. Geode (as GemFire™) was first deployed in the financial sector as the transactional, low-latency data engine used by multiple Wall Street trading platforms.  Today Geode is used by over 600 enterprise customers for high-scale, 24x7 business critical applications. An example deployment includes [China National Railways](http://pivotal.io/big-data/case-study/scaling-online-sales-for-the-largest-railway-in-the-world-china-railway-corporation) that uses Geode to run railway ticketing for the entire country of China with a 10 node cluster that manages 2 terabytes of "hot data" in memory, and 10 backup nodes for high availability and elastic scale.

+_Caches_ are an abstraction that describe a node in an Apache Geode distributed system.
 
 Within each cache, you define data _regions_. Data regions are analogous to tables in a relational database and manage data in a distributed fashion as name/value pairs. A _replicated_ region stores identical copies of the data on each cache member of a distributed system. A _partitioned_ region spreads the data among cache members. After the system is configured, client applications can access the distributed data in regions without knowledge of the underlying system architecture. You can define listeners to receive notifications when data has changed, and you can define expiration criteria to delete obsolete data in a region.
 
 _Locators_ provide clients with both discovery and server load balancing services. Clients are configured with locator information, and the locators maintain a dynamic list of member servers. The locators provide clients with connection information to a server.

+Apache Geode includes the following features:
 
 * Combines redundancy, replication, and a "shared nothing" persistence architecture to deliver fail-safe reliability and performance.
 * Horizontally scalable to thousands of cache members, with multiple cache topologies to meet different enterprise needs. The cache can be distributed across multiple computers.
