Scale

Adding additional servers to the application tier is the most effective way to increase capacity. High availability for sessions at scale is critical to increasing application throughput without downtime or disrupting the customer experience.

High Performance and High Availability

Get high availability for your session data without sacrificing application performance or punishing your database. By storing session data on disk, Terracotta for Sessions ensures session data is always available, even in the event of server failure or restarts.

In-Memory Speed

Terracotta dynamically partitions and optimizes the locality of user session data to provide coherent and reliable access to hot sessions at memory speed. This architecture yields very high application throughput and very low session access latency, no matter how many application servers and concurrent users you have.

Capacity on Demand

The Terracotta Server Array enables you to write a simple web application that can scale as needed. Add application servers on demand for increased capacity without sacrificing session correctness or overloading your database.

Coherent

Terracotta session data is always guaranteed to be coherent, consistent, and up-to-date. This ensures that your customers' experience is unaffected when they are routed to different application servers in the event of server failure or restarts.

Efficient

Terracotta keeps only the locally active session data in memory and sends only the changed data over the network when sessions are updated. This efficient use of memory and network resources enables Terracotta to outperform competitive solutions.

Broad Container Support

Terracotta for Sessions works with most major application servers and a wide range of popular web frameworks.
