It accomplishes this by coordinating updates to the data using cluster-wide concurrency control, replicating and distributing data modifications across the cluster using the highest performing clustered protocol available, and delivering notifications of data modifications to any servers that request them. Developers can easily take advantage of Coherence features using the standard Java collections API to access and modify data, and use the standard JavaBean event model to receive data change notifications.”

This description outlines the most significant features of this software package, and the proof of in its quality lies it’s continued popularity, as well as a list of customers that reads as who’s who of the Big International Business.
