Pioneers in Scalable, In-Memory Computing

For the past decade, ScaleOut Software has been developing leading-edge software technology for in-memory data storage and integrated, real-time computing. Here are some key milestones in our history:

2005: ScaleOut Software releases ScaleOut StateServer, a scalable, highly available, in-memory data grid that eliminated bottlenecks in the storage of fast-changing data within server farms and other operational systems.

2007: ScaleOut extends this technology with ScaleOut GeoServer to integrate in-memory data grids across multiple data centers.

2008: ScaleOut first integrates in-memory computing with in-memory data storage using high performance computing technology to offer real-time analytics and feedback — operational intelligence; this product is now called ScaleOut StateServer Pro.

2013: ScaleOut introduces ScaleOut hServer, the first in-memory, API-compatible, Hadoop MapReduce execution engine that brings the power of operational intelligence to the Hadoop platform.
