News
- Terracotta Inc. today announced record revenue for 2011. The company more than doubled annual revenue. Fourth quarter revenue tripled year over year.
Market Context
- Increased demand for Big Data in memory. Terracotta’s record revenue was fueled by growing demand for BigMemory, the company’s in-memory data management solution. Exploding data volumes and plunging RAM prices are pushing companies to keep more high-value business data in memory, where access speeds are near real-time.

Widespread enterprise adoption. In 2011, market leaders in a
variety of verticals turned to BigMemory to accelerate data-intensive
applications and analysis. Customers deployed BigMemory in demanding,
industry-critical use cases, including:

Analyst Perspective
- Current technology trends point to increasing demand for in-memory data management solutions. Leading analyst firm Gartner named Big Data and in-memory computing among the top 10 strategic technologies for 2012. According to Gartner*, “as cost and availability of memory intensive hardware platforms reach tipping points in 2012 and 2013, the in-memory approach will enter the mainstream.”
