Microsoft .NET
ScaleOut StateServer® scales your .NET application's performance to meet today’s heavy computing loads using distributed, memory-based storage called an in-memory data grid. Designed to scale a wide range of .NET applications, this technology dramatically extends the capabilities of distributed caching with powerful parallel query and analysis, global data access, and integrated cloud support. No other .NET distributed cache offers the set of advanced features found in ScaleOut StateServer. Production-proven and currently used in hundreds of mission-critical .NET environments worldwide, ScaleOut StateServer includes complete native support for .NET applications running under the Microsoft Windows operating systems.
ScaleOut StateServer's powerful features take distributed, memory-based storage to the next generation of application scaling, well beyond the capabilities of distributed caching. For example:
Built-in LINQ Query
C# applications can use .NET's Language Integrated Query (LINQ) to structure fast, parallel queries on large datasets using 
SQL-like semantics on object properties. To maximize query performance, ScaleOut StateServer runs all queries in parallel across the in-memory data grid and optimizes object lookup on each server.
Data Analytics
ScaleOut Grid Computing Edition™ extends parallel query to turn the distributed, in-memory data grid into a powerful, low latency analytics engine. Using the popular map/reduce programming pattern, applications can quickly perform a wide range of analytical operations on datasets held in the grid. In fact, map/reduce analyses can be run continuously to provide near real-time analysis of fast-changing data, uncovering important decision making opportunities or exposing issues that need quick resolution. ScaleOut StateServer's easy-to-use APIs and integrated LINQ query enable .NET developers to quickly develop powerful, in-memory analytics.
Global Data Integration
The ScaleOut GeoServer® option enables applications to transparently access stored objects from remote, in-memory data grids on demand. This means that objects can be seamlessly shared across a geographically diverse network of in-memory data grids acting as a single, virtual, in-memory data grid. Ownership of objects automatically migrates from datacenter to datacenter as needed to ensure coherent updating across the network of in-memory data grids. ScaleOut GeoServer also optionally supports full replication of data among remote data centers for disaster recovery purposes and load-sharing.
Cloud-Ready
Starting with version 5.0, ScaleOut StateServer will offer comprehensive support for popular cloud environments, such as Windows Azure and Amazon Web Services®. Because the cloud version of ScaleOut StateServer has the identical feature set as the 
on-premise version, your .NET applications will run in all environments without modification. Integrated support for global data integration enables on-premise data centers to be seamlessly linked with private or public clouds for automatic data migration. This dramatically simplifies "bursting" applications into the cloud when additional computing resources are required by eliminating the need to manually restage fast-changing data within cloud storage systems as the application scales into the cloud.
