Review comment:
I do see that we want to get more searches of DIH and "cache" terms by
adding them to the first paragraph here but that's a tangential topic and we
shouldn't overwhelm our readers with more terms, especially, at the beginning
of the page.
I'll rework this paragraph after the merge.

- <p>
- As an in-memory data grid, Ignite provides all essential APIs
needed to simplify its adoption.
- The APIs include distributed key-value and ANSI SQL queries, ACID
transactions, co-located
- computations, and machine learning models. While key-value and SQL
calls let you request, join, and
- group distributed data sets, the compute and machine learning
components help to eliminate data
- shuffling over the network, thus, boosting compute and
data-intensive calculations.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Ignite is capable of storing data both in memory and on disk with
two options for data persistence
- -- you can persist changes in an external database or let Ignite
keep data in its native persistence.
- Let's review both of these options.
- </p>
-
- <h2>Ignite and External Databases</h2>
-
- <p>
- Ignite can improve the performance and scalability of any external
database such as RDBMS,
- NoSQL or Hadoop, by sliding in as an in-memory cache between the
application and the database
- layer. When an application writes data to the cache, Ignite
automatically writes-through or
- writes-behind all data modifications to the underlying external
store. Ignite also performs
- ACID transactions where it coordinates and commits a transaction
across the cluster as well as
- the database.
- </p>
- <p>
- Additionally, Ignite can be deployed as a shared and unified
in-memory layer that stores data
- sets originating from disjointed databases. Your applications can
consume all the data from
- Ignite as a single store while Ignite can keep the original
databases in sync whenever in-memory
- data gets updated.
- </p>
- <p>
- However, there are some limitations if an external database is
used as a persistence layer for
- Ignite deployments. For instance, if you run Ignite SQL or scan
queries, you need to ensure that
- all the data has been preloaded to the in-memory cluster. Note
that Ignite SQL or scan queries
- can read data from disk only if it is stored in the native
persistence.
- </p>
-
- <h2>Ignite Native Persistence</h2>
- <p>Ignite native persistence is a distributed ACID and SQL-compliant
disk store that transparently integrates
- with Ignite in-memory layer. When the native persistence is
enabled, Ignite stores both data and indexes on
- disk and eliminates the time-consuming cache warm-up step. Since
the native persistence always keeps a full
- copy of data on disk, you are free to cache a subset of records in
memory. If a required data record is
- missing in memory, then Ignite reads it from the disk
automatically regardless of the API you use -- be it
- SQL, key-value, or scan queries.</p>
+
+ <h2>What is an In-Memory Data Grid?</h2>
+
+ <p>An in-memory data grid is a read-through/write-through caching
strategy in which the application
+ layer treats the data grid as the primary data store. The application
layer writes to and reads
+ from the in-memory data grid. The in-memory data grid ensures that any
underlying databases stay
+ updated and consistent with the in-memory data.</p>
+
+ <p>The Ignite in-memory data grid provides all essential APIs needed
to simplify its adoption. The
+ APIs include <a href="/use-cases/key-value-store.html">distributed
key-value</a> and <a href="/features/sql.html">ANSI SQL</a> queries, <a
href="/features/acid-transactions.html">ACID transactions</a>, <a

Review comment:
We need to say "Ignite as an in-memory data grid ..." in headers to
avoid any confusion that Ignite has a dedicated feature-component named
similarly. "as an" highlights that it's one of the usage options. I'll update
after merging changes.
