Terracotta Launches Webinar Series on Clustered JVM for High Availability and Linear Scalability; First Webinar Slated for Wednesday, June 28, 2006 on Clustering Tomcat Sessions.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Terracotta, Inc., a leader in delivering groundbreaking solutions for enterprise Java scalability, today announced its free Webinar series. Designed to educate Java professionals about the technology and benefits of the company's clustered JVM (Java Virtual Machine) solutions, the series is Terracotta's latest response to the market's growing interest and embrace of clustering at the JVM level, instead of at the application level.

Terracotta designed the Webinar series for Java developers, architects, and just about anyone who needs fault tolerance and linear scalability. The Webinars will cover all aspects of clustering the JVM. Highlights will include benefits, new features, installation, usage, management, demos, and technical Q&As. Webinars will be archived for those who cannot attend.

The first Webinar, slated for this week, will address clustering the JVM with Apache Tomcat, which Terracotta currently supports:

--Event: Cluster Your Tomcat Sessions

--Date and Time: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 at 1:30pm-2:30pm PDT 

--Panelists: Jim Jagielski, CTO, Covalent Technologies; Gary Nakamura, vice president, Terracotta; and Sreeni Iyer, senior manager/field engineer, Terracotta

--Description: Terracotta Sessions clusters the JVM, instead of the application, therefore no coding or tuning during development is needed. Java serialization is no longer necessary, because only data changes are transmitted between JVMs. This is how Terracotta achieves high availability and linear scalability. With the Terracotta Configurator, users finally have a powerful tool that makes session replication quick and painless. Developers can easily replicate sessions to other servers for high availability, without sacrificing performance and scalability.

Future Webinars will focus on the Spring Framework from Interface21, which Terracotta will support in Q3, and additional open source projects for which Terracotta is expected to announce its support.

"We're enjoying the open source-style success of a viral mechanism that's easy to access, easy to use, and easy to derive immediate value from," said Ari Zilka, founder and CEO of Terracotta. "This Webinar series simply builds on that success -- answering questions and seeding ideas for users already working with Terracotta, while exposing our technology in a straightforward manner to potential users."
