Tanzu GemFire (GemFire) is an in-memory distributed data management system from Pivotal Software for low-latency data access. It provides a distributed cache and supports querying data with OQL and SQL-like interfaces.
History[03]
GemFire was originally developed by GemStone Systems in the early 2000s by former developers of FastObjects. It was then acquired by VMware in 2010, which then spun the database division as Pivotal Software in 2013.
Pivotal released an open-source fork derived from GemFire as Apache Geode in 2015 and still maintains a separate commercial version of GemFire.
