I'm happy to take a stab here, wearing my Pivotal hat.

Once the most recent code for WAN and continuous query are incorporated, Apache Geode will map even closer to GemFire. What's different is that Apache Geode is only supported here, in the forums. Releases will come on the schedule they come, and fixes will be incorporated, transparently, when they are completed in their own timeframe. With GemFire, you will have commercial support, which gives you the right to raise an SLA to get fixes and assistance. If, for example, you report a critical bug in GemFire, you will be issued a fix in a timely fashion. This fix, if it involves Apache Geode code, will eventually be contributed to the open source code, and incorporated as The Apache Way process allows. As time goes on, its likely that Apache Geode will spawn new features that GemFire will not adopt. As time goes on, its likely that GemFire will be more firmly meshed into Pivotal ecosystem components such as CloudFoundry, Spring, Greenplum, and other relevant technologies. The code for these integrate solutions will likely not be incorporated into Apache Geode. I hope this helps a bit. > > Thanks > -- Greg Chase Director of Big Data Communities http://www.pivotal.io/big-data Pivotal Software http://www.pivotal.io/ 650-215-0477 @GregChase Blog: http://geekmarketing.biz/
