A new press release reports, “Hazelcast, the leading in-memory computing platform company, today announced Hazelcast Cloud, a fully managed, low latency data layer for cloud-based workloads at any scale. With Hazelcast Cloud, companies can realize microsecond[1] performance for critical applications from the smallest to the most extreme scale, all in a simplified and instantaneous deployment model. Designed for cloud-native applications and specializing in low latency data access, Hazelcast Cloud is a perfect data store alternative for serverless functions. ‘In the digital era, latency is the new downtime and microseconds matter,’ said Kelly Herrell, Hazelcast CEO. ‘While cloud services are simple and economical for broad market use, they cannot power the most time-sensitive applications at scale. With Hazelcast Cloud, customers no longer have to accept this tradeoff. Now the same platform powering key on-premises applications for the world’s largest organizations is at the developer’s fingertips as a managed service’.”

The release goes on, “Hazelcast offers three editions of its managed service: Hazelcast Cloud (Free), Hazelcast Cloud and Hazelcast Cloud Dedicated. The initial free and paid versions of Hazelcast Cloud are designed primarily for the test and development phases of a project. While the two versions share the same technology, the paid offering includes always-on status, higher memory size limits and customer support. Both editions run on cloud instances operated by Hazelcast. Hazelcast Cloud Dedicated is deployed within the customer’s virtual private cloud (VPC) instance, but configured and maintained by Hazelcast. Suited for production workloads, Hazelcast Cloud Dedicated eliminates memory size restrictions, while adding features such as multithreading, multi-region availability and enterprise-grade support.”
