Terracotta at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco next week will herald its clustering technology for Java systems.The Terracotta Virtualization Server clusters applications onto multiple Java Virtual Machines (JVM). “What we have is essentially techology that transparently enables an application that’s written for one single JVM to run on multiple JVMs,” said Bob Griswold, senior vice president at Terracotta. “It will make multiple JVMs appear as one.”Enabling clusters on thousands of systems and across the Internet, Terracotta’s technology can be used for applications such as financial services, trading systems or large portals, according to the company. The technology saves developers from having to write code required for clustering, enabling them to focus on business logic, Griswold said. “This is a far easier way to write distributed applications,” he said. Version 1.1 of Terracotta Virtualization Server ships on July 5. Pricing will vary. A configuration for an eight-node cluster, for example, would cost about $100,000, according to the company. “Any Java application that needs to run in multiple places at once can benefit,” Griswold said.
