Introduction to server modules

Infinispan provides a separate package to install the server endpoints, for those who are interested in implementing Infinispan in a client-server mode.

To install Infinispan server modules, you have to download a ZIP file from the official website http://infinispan.org/download/, which contains a JBoss AS 7.2 standalone server that exposes the grid to clients over a variety of protocols.

All these server modules follow the same pattern; the server backend creates an embedded Infinispan instance and if you start multiple instances, they can form a cluster and share data in accordance with the settings provided.

Here's a brief summary of the available server endpoints:

The Hot Rod server module provides cache access through the Hot Rod protocol
The REST Server module exposes the cache data via REST services
The Memcached Server module provides Memcached access to the cache
The WebSocket Server module provides WebSocket access
