What is the Terracotta Server?
The Terracotta Server provides the distributed data platform for Terracotta products. A cluster of Terracotta Servers configured to work together is referred to as a Terracotta Server Array (TSA). A Terracotta Server Array can vary from a single server, to a basic two-server tandem for High Availability (HA), to a multi-server array providing configurable scale, high performance, and deep failover coverage.
The main features of the Terracotta Server include:
*Distributed In-memory Data Management
Manages 10-100x more data in memory than data grids
*Scalability Without Complexity
Simple configuration and deployment option for scaling-up and/or scale-out to meet growing demand and facilitate capacity planning
*High Availability
Instant failover for continuous uptime and services
*Configurable Health Monitoring
Terracotta health checker monitors client and server health
*Persistent Application State
Automatic permanent storage of all current shared in-memory data with ultra-fast recovery upon server restarts
*Automatic Node Reconnection
Temporarily disconnected server instances and clients rejoin the cluster without operator intervention
