GigaSpaces Ops Manager
GigaSpaces is proud to introduce an enterprise-class management platform for your GigaSpaces-based clusters running on your own cloud, on-premise or hybrid infrastructure.

For more information, seeIntelligent Tiering of Your Data Lake
The GigaSpaces Analyticsxtreme module allows you to leverage an intelligent data management policy, to automatically auto-tier cold and archive data in your Hadoop or cloud object store data lake. GigaSpaces's intelligent tiering is designed to automatically optimize storage of historical data in terms of performance and costs as data access patterns change, moving data between frequent access and infrequent access tiers.

Kubernetes Space-Based Remoting
GigaSpaces now provides a native smart Space client in Kubernetes that supports remote CRUD operations, task execution, and event-driven analytics. The smart client is content aware to the distributed cluster topology, which provides high throughput and fast serialization, as well as automatic load balancing. This is accomplished by auto forwarding the remote operation to the relevant data pod, based on the data model and routing.

Confluent Streaming Connector (Kafka)
The official GigaSpaces Connector for Apache Kafka has been released and verified by Confluent. The connector, which adheres to the guidelines set forth by Confluent’s Verified Integrations Program, enables GigaSpaces to be configured as both a sink and a source for Apache Kafka.
