In a Hazelcast grid, data is evenly distributed among the nodes of a computer cluster, allowing for horizontal scalingofprocessing and available storage. Backups are also distributed among nodes to protect against failure of any single node.
Hazelcast can run on-premises, in the cloud (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Cloud Foundry, OpenShift), virtually (VMware), and in Docker containers. The Hazelcast Cloud Discovery Service Provider Interface (SPI) enables cloud-based or on-premises nodes to auto-discover each other.
The Hazelcast platform can manage memory for many types of applications. It offers an Open Binary Client Protocol to support APIs for any binary programming language. The Hazelcast and open-source community members have created client APIs for programming languages that include Java, .NET, C++, Python, Node.js and Go.[7]
