Guys,<div><br></div><div>Sorry. It&#39;s probably not a dev question... </div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;m writing a paper for my graduation (about Infinispan) as I said before. I&#39;m having some doubts about what Infinispan really is. I watched some Manik presentations on internet and read a little articles. I saw Manik saying something like Infinispan be a in memory data base, and not just a distributed cache. And I read (<a href="http://java.dzone.com/articles/data-service-data-fabric">http://java.dzone.com/articles/data-service-data-fabric</a>) that Infinispan is something like Voldermort or Dynamo. And in some other sites, like <a href="http://nosql-database.org/">http://nosql-database.org/</a>, Infinispan is classified like a &quot;Grid Database solution&quot; (like Oracle Coherence) and somehow different of Voldermort. Reading Infinispan documentation and these and other articles, I not really sure what differs Infinispan and Voldermort.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m not really sure if I made myself clear, but I&#39;m having some problems defining what is Infinispan (or what Infinispan wants to be in the end) (comparing with these other products).</div><div>

<br></div><div>Anyway... any replies to this mail could help me!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>Israel</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
