-                            memory-only mode or with Ignite native persistence. It can also automatically integrate with any 3rd party databases,

+                            <strong>Yes</strong>. Ignite is a strongly consistent distributed database. Data in Ignite is
+                            stored in-memory and/or on-disk and is either partitioned or replicated across a cluster of
+                            multiple nodes. This provides for scalability, performance, and resiliency.
