TERRACOTTA ANNOUNCES INTEGRATION OF TERRACOTTA CLUSTERING SOLUTION WITH GLASSFISH APPLICATION SERVER
May 7, 2007
Integration Facilitates High Availability and Scalability for Enterprise Applications
JAVAONE -San Francisco—May 7, 2007— Terracotta, Inc., a leader in innovative solutions for enterprise Java scalability, today announced integration of the Terracotta clustering solution with GlassFish, an enterprise quality open source Java Application Server. The combination of the two products provides developers with a one-two punch for building and deploying highly available and scalable Java-based enterprise applications built on lightweight, open source components. Terracotta and Sun will conduct technology demonstrations during JavaOne.
Terracotta's powerful runtime clustering technology fills a market void as companies seek low cost, lightweight alternatives to proprietary solutions. Terracotta's runtime JVM-level clustering solution offers developers an innovative yet simple way to achieve high availability and scalability for Java applications. The GlassFish Application Server is a product of the GlassFish community which develops free, open source, production-quality, enterprise software. Now, with the integration of Terracotta and GlassFish, developers can quickly implement enterprise-class application infrastructures based on open source, lightweight stacks.
"True to the spirit of open source communities, Terracotta aims to support the leading J2EE application servers to provide developers with the flexibility and interoperability necessary to successfully build enterprise applications," said Ari Zilka, CTO and co-founder of Terracotta. "The integration of Terracotta with GlassFish will accelerate the adoption of open source technologies and strengthen the efforts of our respective communities."
"Terracotta's approach to clustering by sharing memory in the JVM provides a radically simplified high availability solution for many GlassFish users," said Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart,
distinguished engineer at Sun. "Terracotta adds tremendous value to our community of users and our rapidly growing partner ecosystem."
Terracotta will demonstrate the integration of its clustering technology with the GlassFish Application Server during GlassFish Day on Monday, May 7, 2007 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
