Extends Footprint into European Markets As Demand for Lightweight Clustering Technology for Java Applications Rises
SAN FRANCISCO—April 11, 2007— Terracotta, Inc., a leader in innovative solutions for enterprise Java scalability, today announced a partnership with Sourcesense, the leading open source systems integrator in the European market. Under the agreement, Sourcesense will integrate Terracotta's open source clustering technology into its service offerings and a broad range of Java application solutions for customers that require high availability and scalability.
In the four months since Terracotta released its open source Java clustering solution, global demand has grown significantly. In response, Terracotta is working closely with global companies with deep experience in providing enterprise class solutions based on open source components. This strategy extends the expertise in Terracotta's technology, and customers have access to support and services through trusted local firms.
"Sourcesense has a proven track record in helping its customers identify and deploy the best open source technology available," said Amit Pandey, CEO of Terracotta. "As the growing choice among Java developers for easily enabling scalable and highly available applications, Terracotta is the perfect addition to its core services. Sourcesense will be a key partner as we expand our customer base in Europe."
Terracotta's lightweight clustering technology fills a market void as companies seek low cost, easy to deploy alternatives to existing proprietary J2EE solutions. Terracotta easily integrates with a variety of popular application servers and enables Java applications to scale with minimal effort and substantially less development time.
"The way Terracotta's clustering technology complements lightweight containers fits squarely into our best of breed philosophy and our mission to adopt technology that is easy to deploy in complex architectures," said Gianugo Rabellino, CEO of Sourcesense. "With Terracotta, we can provide scalability and availability with lightweight open source stacks that avoid many J2EE complexities."
