the leader in in-memory technologies for enterprise Big Data, today

platform, BigMemory. With BigMemory version 4.0, enterprises can
move up to hundreds of terabytes of high-value data from slow disk

The Terracotta BigMemory 4.0 in-memory data management platform
achieves up to 60% faster data access at terabyte scale and beyond.
New, more powerful features in BigMemory 4.0 include sophisticated
monitoring and management of in-memory data, high availability and
very fast restart for disaster recovery. BigMemory 4.0 also adds a
free production version of BigMemory Max for distributed in-memory
data management, as well as compatibility with Hadoop, allowing
enterprises to glean and share Big Data insights at in-memory
speed.
"The amount of data generated in minutes each day in 2013 equals
the entire amount of data generated between the dawn of
civilization up until 2003," said Robin Gilthorpe, Chief
Executive Officer of Terracotta, Inc. "The expanding volumes of
different types of data from mobile, cloud, social, sensors and
devices are creating incredible complexity for businesses. The
BigMemory 4.0 platform was designed to simplify access to, and
management of, a company's most important data in real-time."
Available today as a stand-alone solution, BigMemory 4.0 will
also power In-Genius, Terracotta's upcoming native in-memory
platform for intelligent action on Big Data. In-Genius will deliver
real-time insights from any source of dynamic data to any delivery
channel, including web, mobile and point-of-sale, for immediate
action. BigMemory 4.0 will also be the in-memory data platform for
webMethods 9.0 from Software AG, introduced today at the CeBIT
conference.
Terracotta customer bwin.party digital entertainment, the
world's largest listed online gaming company, plans to standardize
on BigMemory 4.0 as its de facto in-memory data management
platform. bwin.party will use Terracotta's in-memory technology for
their online poker and casino offerings, which together constitute
the majority of the company's online gaming revenues. Terracotta's
