Terracotta BigMemory Max extends the Terracotta Ehcache API so applications can create very large in-memory caches outside the Java heap and share cached data with other applications on the network. Using Terracotta BigMemory Max, you can create much larger caches than with local on-heap memory alone. You can use terabytes for caching, depending on the platform you use. Caches that you create using Terracotta BigMemory Max also perform more predictably and consistently than on-heap caches, because they are not subject to the JVM garbage-collection process.
