Company Making the most of in-memory data

Terracotta is the company behind some of the most widely used software for application scalability, availability and performance. Our software is deployed in more than 500,000 installations, including by the majority of the Fortune 2000. Terracotta is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Software AG.

Snap-in Scale and Performance

Terracotta's software products provide snap-in performance and scale for enterprise applications. With a simple change in two lines of configuration, Terracotta customers can run enterprise applications up to 1000x faster and scale them―from one node, to 1000s, even to the cloud―without re-writing code or compromising performance or reliability.

Terabytes of Data In Memory

Terracotta’s product portfolio provides leading edge in-memory technology for faster, more efficient data access. Our customers use Terracotta solutions to store large amounts of data in memory and offload slower, more expensive database or mainframe stores. In addition to increasing application speed, customers dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of managing, storing, searching and accessing business-critical data.

Enterprise-Class Products and Support

Terracotta engineers lead the development of our software, which we make available as both open source projects and commercial products. Our feature-rich, fully supported commercial products are designed for business-critical applications in production environments. Our flagship product, Enterprise Ehcache, extends the capabilities of Ehcache, the de facto caching standard for enterprise Java. BigMemory provides instant, effortless access to a large memory footprint, free of the constraints of Java garbage collection.

A Leader in Distributed Caching

Terracotta is a recognized leader in distributed caching and at the forefront of making this powerful technology more widely applicable and easier to deploy and manage.

According to Forrester Research, Inc., the next evolution in caching is elastic caching. In "The Forrester Wave™: Elastic Caching Platforms, Q2 2010," Forrester named Terracotta a Leader in this emerging market and ranked us strongest in strategy among eight elastic caching platforms.

Terracotta and Software AG

In June 2011, Terracotta was acquired by Software AG, a leader in business process management solutions with more than 10,000 enterprise and public sector customers. In addition to our existing stand-alone products and projects, Terracotta’s portfolio will form the foundation of Software AG’s in-memory and cloud offerings. Our goal is to offer customers the most advanced technology solution available for managing vast amounts of data more efficiently and cost-effectively.
