Terracotta Discussion Forums (LEGACY READ-ONLY ARCHIVE)

Hi,

I'm trying to understand more about Terracotta. We have the open source version (3.4.1 I believe) and we had a problem in our production environment last week where sessions seemingly didn't failover.

I've used tomcat clustering in the past, info here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/cluster-howto.html

Could somebody explain to me what the difference between the 2 are?

I'd like to either understand Terracotta better or get rid of it, trying to make sure I make an educated decision. I've inherited this setup and the only piece that has unknowns for me is Terracotta.

Cheers!

Terracotta provides additional performance and scale options through BigMemoryMax, it also provides additional clustering features as referenced in the above link.
