This chapter covered a lot of concepts that apply to working with any data grid product. We now know how to build a distributed ObjectGrid deployment and connect to the grid in our application.
We looked at two different configuration files required to define an ObjectGrid deployment. We saw the ObjectGrid configuration file in previous chapters. Now, we rely on this configuration file to run a server deployment. A copy, or variation, of this file is used on the client side. The client configuration file helps the client find out about the grid it works with and the maps defined in it.
