No. The distributed cache product was GemFire, which was derived from the cacheing strategy used in Gemstone/S and Gemstone/J. There was a series of aquisitions and I think Pivotal owns it now.

Gemstone/S is an ACID object database that uses a modified Smalltalk data model and a Smalltalk dialect as a the data language. If you are developing for it on one of the supported client Smalltalk platforms, the experience is magical. eg. if the GS Smalltalk throws an exception, it can be caught by the front end and the debugger call stack display (ST doesn't unwind the stack when searching for a handler) shows both like they were on the same machine.

GemTalk Systems has a free trial that works with Squeak/Pharo as a client. https://gemtalksystems.com/small-business/gsdevkit/
