Our Solutions

GemFire Service Offerings

Every engagement is handled by a senior GemFire engineer from kickoff to resolution.

We design GemFire deployments optimized for your access patterns — from financial tick data to session caches — with the right region types, colocation strategies, and WAN replication topology.

  • Region design: partitioned vs. replicated region selection and sizing
  • Data colocation strategy for co-located query execution without network hops
  • WAN Gateway configuration for multi-site active-active replication
  • Entry event listener and cache writer design patterns
  • Persistence strategy: disk store configuration, overflow policies, eviction

Our GemFire consulting team handles every aspect of production deployment — cluster configuration, security hardening, JVM tuning, and operational runbook creation.

  • GemFire cluster deployment: locators, servers, gateway hub configuration
  • JVM heap sizing and GC tuning (G1GC, ZGC) for low-pause data grid operation
  • Security: TLS/SSL, authentication, authorization, and audit logging
  • Function execution service design for server-side data processing
  • Continuous query (CQ) design for real-time event-driven applications

We integrate GemFire into Spring Boot applications using Spring Data for Apache Geode — enabling seamless caching, session management, and repository patterns.

  • Spring Data for Apache Geode / Spring Data GemFire configuration

  • @EnableGemfireCachingDefined annotation-driven cache configuration
  • PDX serialization for language-agnostic data access across clients
  • Spring Boot Auto-Configuration with GemFire client regions

Sub-millisecond latency requirements demand expert tuning. We profile GemFire clusters end-to-end and implement targeted optimizations that reduce P99 latency and prevent capacity bottlenecks.

  • Heap LRU eviction policy tuning and off-heap memory configuration
  • Partition region bucket count optimization for even data distribution
  • Client connection pool sizing and server group load balancing
  • OQL query execution plan analysis and index design
  • Capacity modeling: memory footprint per entry and growth projection

When your in-memory data grid fails under load, every millisecond matters. Our GemFire support team responds in 15 minutes and stays engaged until your cluster is stable and root-caused.

  • 15-minute emergency GemFire support response — senior engineers only
  • Cluster split-brain detection and recovery procedures

FAQs

GemFire Support FAQs

Common questions about GemFire consulting, support, and migrations.

VMware GemFire (based on Apache Geode) is an enterprise in-memory data grid that provides distributed caching, data replication, and real-time event processing with microsecond-level latency. It's designed for financial trading systems, telecom session management, gaming leaderboards, and any workload where database query latency is unacceptable and data must live in memory across a distributed cluster.

Our GemFire consulting covers distributed data model design (partitioned vs. replicated regions), cluster architecture, WAN replication, JVM tuning, Spring Data GemFire integration, OQL query optimization, security hardening, and licensing. Every GemFire consulting engagement is staffed by a senior engineer with hands-on in-memory data grid expertise.

GemFire and Redis are both in-memory data stores, but they serve different use cases. GemFire is a distributed data grid designed for complex data models, server-side function execution, continuous queries, and active-active WAN replication — making it ideal for stateful enterprise applications. Redis excels at simple key-value caching and pub/sub. For financial systems requiring transactional consistency across a distributed cluster, GemFire is the stronger choice.

Yes. We design and configure active-active WAN replication topologies using GemFire Gateway Senders and Receivers. Our engineers handle conflict resolution policies, queue sizing, batch window tuning, and failover procedures — ensuring data consistency across your global GemFire deployment.

Yes. We deploy GemFire on Kubernetes, including with the VMware Tanzu GemFire for Kubernetes Operator. Our engineers understand Kubernetes StatefulSet behavior, persistent volume management, network policy requirements, and pod anti-affinity rules that are critical for a stable distributed data grid.

Apache Geode is the open-source foundation of GemFire. VMware GemFire is the commercial, enterprise-supported distribution with additional enterprise features, security enhancements, and official Broadcom support. AceMQ provides support for both Apache Geode and VMware GemFire deployments.

Contact AceMQ and we'll provide a GemFire licensing quote within 24 hours. As a Broadcom Expert Advantage Partner, we have direct access to Tanzu GemFire pricing and can negotiate favorable terms for new deployments and renewals.
