SAN FRANCISCO, July 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Terracotta, the
award winning provider of in-memory technologies for enterprise big
data, unveiled new versions of BigMemory 4, its flagship product
for managing big, fast data, and Web Sessions 4, the leading
solution for distributed in-memory session management. The new
offerings work together to bring faster, more reliable access to
session data in large-scale, high-traffic web applications. By
tapping BigMemory 4's Automatic Resource Control™, Web Sessions 4
ensures that data is always where it's needed to grant instant
access to up to hundreds of terabytes of session data. BigMemory 4
offers 60 percent faster data access than previous versions at
terabyte scale and beyond, and delivers enterprise-grade levels of
reliability and flexibility that were formerly available only
in traditional, disk-based data management systems.

"Slow performance on any commerce site is a business killer,"
said Mike Allen, vice president of
Product Management for Terracotta. "If a customer has to wait for
their shopping cart to load, or to complete check out, there is a
high probability of losing the sale. Terracotta Web Sessions and
Terracotta BigMemory work together to eliminate performance
bottlenecks, even with terabytes of web session data."

The latest releases of BigMemory and Web Sessions speed
enterprise-grade Web session management, allowing high-traffic web
sites to enjoy distributed in-memory session management for
extremely high performance and availability at scale. Because
application servers are not always optimized to handle very large
volumes of in-memory session data in a highly available,
scalable way, access to session data shared across application
servers often becomes a performance bottleneck for enterprise
system architects and software developers. With the latest versions
of Web Sessions and BigMemory, developers and architects can
deliver fast, reliable access to Web session data, including
shopping carts, user behavior and cookies.
Working together, Web Sessions 4 and BigMemory 4 deliver:
- Faster access
- By providing advanced in-memory session management across
distributed servers, developers can grant instant access to up to
terabytes of session data. Web Sessions and BigMemory allow those
application servers to keep sessions in-memory for fast
distribution across large distributed arrays.
- BigMemory's Automatic Resource Control™ enables Web Sessions to
migrate data automatically, from heap to off-heap to array, keeping
the data as close to the application as possible based on its
importance to the application.
- BigMemory uses all of the application server's off-heap storage
for session data, without causing garbage collection pauses.
- Terracotta Web Sessions easily links web applications to
BigMemory, fully leveraging its in-memory simplicity, speed and
performance for best-in-class data management.
- More reliable access
- If an application server fails, all other servers have instant
access to every session stored in- memory.
- Session data is stored in BigMemory's highly available,
striped, or mirrored in-memory array for maximum uptime.
- Terracotta's Fast Restartable Stores™ slash the time it takes
to bring session data back online after maintenance or outages,
reloading in-memory session data ten times faster than
non-optimized backups.
Powering Terracotta and Software AG Products
Available
today as a stand-alone solution, BigMemory will also power
In-Genius, Terracotta's big data analytics solution, which will
ship in the fall of 2013. 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. As a result,
enterprises can significantly reduce risk, automate business
processes and rapidly deploy new offers, products and services, all
in real time. BigMemory is also the in-memory data platform
for webMethods 9.0 from Software AG, introduced earlier this
year.
