Terracotta is revolutionizing the way it provides Java application scalability and availability along with database scalability. In this year alone, Terracotta acquired Ehcache and Quartz, and built a Hibernate caching product. To some, it may not be clear how these pieces fit together in Terracotta's technological vision. Terracotta CTO Ari Zilka says in a recent letter, "all these pieces will come together in what we call a scalability continuum." The "scalability continuum" and the circumvention of performance bottlenecks are at the heart of Terracotta's strategy going forward. Ari Zilka has provided DZone with a preview of what you can expect next few years from Terracotta.

I do not hear anything about "Network Attached Memory" any longer? has Terracotta given up on that?

not at all. many users start w/ Hibernate 2nd level cache, then go to pojos in ehcache, and end up w/ raw NAM. its all possible in the same app. in fact you can point each use case at is own terracotta array (one for hibernate, one for you pojo caches, and one for custom nam stuff like queues or java.util.concurrent).

Can we still put objects which are not serializable to Terracotta cache ? For example, a whole object tree. I remember your presentation at your web site which I can longer find showing the neat features of NAM.
"one for custom nam stuff like queues or java.util.concurrent", is this what I am talking about?

Never mind, Terracotta Platform documentation mentions all that. I am glad you guys didnt give up that ,to me, extremely innovative idea of JVM level clustering.
ikarzali replied ago:
yup ehcache and quartz and session replication and hibernate caching are just built on that core :)

Will you support Glassfish v3? As this is basically a tomcat with a lot integrated more features, this would really rock!
ikarzali replied ago:
glassfish team is in talks w/ us. yes. we love gf and will support v3 asap. we did lots of work w/ Sun on v2 so they say v3 should be a snap for us :)
