Terabyte-sized Java apps now possible

| Sunday, July 25, 2010
The new version of the Terracotta distributed Java caching software is able, for the first time, to aggregate more than a terabyte of pooled memory for a single application and its data, the company announced this week.

The software, Ehcache 2.2, can also hold up to several hundred million Java objects in a single cache, according to Terracotta's CEO, Amit Pandey. He added that this terabyte of memory can be run from as few as 10 servers.

The update also features a new management console, intra-data center communications capability and a new common runtime library that the company claims will help reduce memory and bandwidth usage.

Memory caching software such as Ehcache can be used to host large applications and their data entirely within the working memory of a set of servers, which speeds the response time because no calls to disk need to be made during operations.
