Until this chapter, for all the scenarios and code samples we have used Infinispan bundled as a library embedded into your application code.

In this chapter, we will examine Infinispan in another perspective. We will analyze Infinispan server modules, which are modules deployed in an Application server that provide Infinispan as a service, and get some clients to consume the data provided by the cache service.

There are several modules available:

You will also see how to deploy and configure each server module and how to use the command line interface provided by Infinispan to access the data grid.
