GridGain Systems, Foster City, California

GridGain revolutionizes real-time data access and processing by offering an enterprise-grade cloud-native in-memory computing platform. Common use cases for the GridGain platform include high-speed operational analytics, application acceleration, AI/ML model training, and digital integration hubs for real-time data access across data sources and applications. GridGain is used by global enterprises in a variety of sectors, with a client list that includes ING, Citibank, American Express, AutoZone, UPS, 24 Hour Fitness and American Airlines. GridGain can be deployed on premises, in private clouds, in hybrid multi-cloud environments, and as a SaaS or fully managed service. This has enabled extremely diverse applications. For example, GridGain helped to enable:

- CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, to easily handle data acquisition, monitoring, and control of computing and industrial systems throughout the organization via 200,000 endpoints that generate up to two million messages a day.

- Expedia Group to move from a Cassandra caching architecture with an impressive 3 second response time for airline flight queries to an Ignite architecture with an earth-shattering 150 MS response time – a 95% improvement multiplied by millions of queries every day on the Expedia platform.

An open source software and services company, GridGain generates revenue from Support and Services for the GridGain In-Memory Computing Platform and Apache Ignite.
