Terracotta Announces Integration of Terracotta Clustering Solution With GlassFish Application Server.Integration Facilitates High Availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. and Scalability for Enterprise Applications SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- Terracotta, Inc., a leader in innovative solutions for enterprise Java scalability, today announced integration of the Terracotta clustering solution with GlassFish glass·fish n. pl. glassfish or glass·fish·es Any of various small, semitransparent Old World fishes of the genera Ambassis or Chanda, used to stock aquariums. , an enterprise quality open source Java Application A Java program that is run stand alone. The Java Virtual Machine in the client or server is interpreting the instructions. Contrast with Java applet. See servlet. Server. The combination of the two products provides developers with a one-two punch one-two punch n. 1. A combination of two blows delivered in rapid succession in boxing, especially a left lead followed by a right cross. 2. Informal An especially forceful or effective combination or sequence of two things. 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 A J2EE application or an enterprise application is any deployable unit of J2EE functionality. This can be a single J2EE module or a group of modules packaged into an EAR file along with a J2EE application deployment descriptor. servers to provide developers with the flexibility and interoperability necessary to successfully build enterprise applications," said Ari Zilka, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization.

"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 See Java Virtual Machine. JVM - Java Virtual Machine 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. Terracotta, Inc. Terracotta, Inc. provides the only runtime clustering solution that supports highly available and scalable Java business applications. Terracotta's simple clustering solution significantly improves highly available Java application infrastructures with faster time to market, increased return on investment, and lower total cost of ownership.
