Ignite has been in Apache for over a year already, and prior to that it was
part of GridGain open source edition for over 5 years. It is definitely a
mature codebase with 100s of customers around the world using it in
production, including some very large well known banks.

Currently, GridGain is probably the main company providing enterprise-level
support as well as additional enterprise features for Apache Ignite.

As I mentioned above, Ignite is being used by many large customers,
including some very large banks. In many installations Ignite is replacing
products like Oracle Coherence, Pivotal Gemfire, IBM ExtremeScale, etc.

Ignite is an in-memory data grid providing in-memory key-value data storage
partitioned across the cluster, while Cassandra is mainly a disk-based
system. Performance-wise, Ignite should be an order of magnitude faster than
Cassandra. 

Unlike Cassandra, Ignite provides fully-ACID fault-tolerant transactions
within the cluster. 

Ignite also provides ANSI-99 SQL querying capability, including distributed
joins, across the clustered data.

Hi, Sridhar,
in addition to that Dmitriy said, a couple of resources describing the
difference between community & enterprise editions:

Hi dsetrakyan,


I have already subscribed but not sure why it says, message is not posted to
the user iist.

Anyway thanks for your response.

Customers who are using apache ignite are not provided in the apache ignite
website. So, I assume that they should be GridGain customers.

But, still it would be better if they are added to apache ignite site
itself.

We see the features of ignite are better than others , but still we are
concerned with the fact we actually do not know who uses Ignite in
production, even tho' it is understandable that it is basically GridGain
customers who use it.

Also, what type of support we can get if we choose Ignite over GridGain. I
have a feeling we need to go towards GridGain for paid support eventually.

Thanks,
Sridhar
