Terracotta makes a Java clustering solution that it calls "drop-in" technology. Terracotta is unique, says Ari Zilka, founder and chief technology officer, because it makes a way to offload temporary but important information that has traditionally been stored in expensive databases. In an effort to increase interest in the product, about a year ago Terracotta decided to open its source code and start giving the product away. According to Zilka, since Terracotta's entrance into the community, "we've seen only goodness."
