Infinispan is a distributed cache and key-value NoSQL data store software developed by Red Hat. Java applications can embed it as library, use it as a service in WildFly or any non-java applications can use it, as remote service through TCP/IP.
Infinispan is the successor of JBoss Cache. The project was announced in 2009.
Transactions
MapReduce
Support for LRU and LIRS eviction algorithms
Through pluggable architecture, infinispan is able to persist data to filesystem, relational databases with JDBC, LevelDB, NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Apache Cassandra or HBase and others.
Typical use-cases for Infinispan include:
Distributed cache, often in front of a database
Storage for temporal data, like web sessions
In-memory data processing and analytics
Cross-JVM communication and shared storage
MapReduce Implementation in the In-Memory Data Grid.
Infinispan is also used in academia and research as a framework for distributed execution and storage.
Cloud2Sim leverages Infinispan for its distributed execution of MapReduce workflows and simulations.
MEDIator data sharing synchronization platform for medical image archives leverages Infinispan as its distributed in-memory storage, as well as distributed execution framework.
Cassowary uses Infinispan to store the context information in-memory, in order to provide the middleware platform for context-aware smart buildings.

In computing, a distributed cache is an extension of the traditional concept of cache used in a single locale. A distributed cache may span multiple servers so that it can grow in size and in transactional capacity. It is mainly used to store application data residing in database and web session data. The idea of distributed caching has become feasible now because main memory has become very cheap and network cards have become very fast, with 1 Gbit now standard everywhere and 10 Gbit gaining traction.
Redis (ˈrɛdɪs; Remote Dictionary Server) is an open-source in-memory storage, used as a distributed, in-memory key–value database, cache and message broker, with optional durability. Because it holds all data in memory and because of its design, Redis offers low-latency reads and writes, making it particularly suitable for use cases that require a cache. Redis is the most popular NoSQL database, and one of the most popular databases overall. Redis is used in companies like Twitter, Airbnb, Tinder, Yahoo Adobe, Hulu, and Amazon.
A NoSQL (originally referring to "non-SQL" or "non-relational") database provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases. Such databases have existed since the late 1960s, but the name "NoSQL" was only coined in the early 21st century, triggered by the needs of Web 2.0 companies. NoSQL databases are increasingly used in big data and real-time web applications.
