In this free session we show you how you can get Network-Attached Memory as an appliance-like infrastructure service through Terracotta's JVM-
level clustering technology (
http://terracotta.org). You will learn what Network-Attached Memory is, how it works and how Terracotta can
simplify the task of clustering an enterprise application immensely by
sharing the heap of the JVM underneath the application instead of
clustering the application itself.
JVM-level clustering can turn single-node, multi-threaded apps into
distributed, multi-node apps, often with no code changes. This is
possible by plugging in to the Java Memory Model in order to maintain
key Java semantics of pass-by-reference, thread coordination and
garbage collection across the cluster. Terracotta enables this using
only declarative configuration with minimal impact to existing code
and provides fine-grained field-level replication which means your
objects no longer need to implement Java serialization. This session
will show how it works and how you can start clustering your
POJO-based Web applications (based on Spring, Struts, Wicket, RIFE,
EHCache, Quartz, Lucene, DWR, Tomcat, JBoss, Jetty or Geronimo etc.).
