Terracota Data Caching Product Hits 1TB Mark: Page 2 of 2

Terracotta announced Tuesday the general availability of Ehcache 2.2, software that allows a database cache to run in the application server for a faster response time compared to databases running elsewhere on a network. Dynamic in-memory data caching, as it's called, eliminates bottlenecks when trying to introduce virtualization or cloud computing into an IT environment because traditional databases aren't easily virtualized.

Because Ehcache is a Java-based product, it is used by 70 percent of enterprise Java users, said Mike Allen, head of product management for Terracotta, citing a survey done last year by Sun Microsystems, which has since been acquired by Oracle. Oracle didn't participate with Forrester's research so Coherence was evaluated only on product documentation and interviews with customers. Oracle did not respond to a request for comment for this story.

Forrester evaluated an earlier version of Ehcache than the one announced Tuesday. For those using the licensed version of Ehcache 1.6.2, the average sales price for an eight-server configuration was $50,000, with a starting price for Ehcache DX of $10,000, Forrester noted.
