Faced with exploding data volumes and a need to instantaneously analyze and act on business information, companies are struggling with current data solutions that fail to provide the speed and scale their businesses require. Terracotta's BigMemory products unlock the value in big data, delivering a comprehensive solution for real-time access to and analysis of hundreds of terabytes of business data, at up to 1,000 times faster speed than traditional data management technologies.

2012 has already been a banner year for Terracotta as demonstrated by several key measurements including:  

• New customer wins. Within the last nine months, Terracotta signed deals with a number of global brands and enterprise customers including Discover, PayPal, Nielsen, Digital Globe, UPS and Sabre Holding as well as some top-level federal agencies.
• A 25 percent increase in product downloads year over year; 2.1 million developers have downloaded Terracotta products, representing over 2.5 million individual deployments.
• A 300 percent increase in year over year revenue.

"In-memory technology has emerged as a highly desirable component of Big Data initiatives due to rapid advancements in server RAM capacities and application design. Solutions, such as Terracotta's BigMemory, can be used by companies in any industry to effectively scale their data infrastructure and support the high performance applications that drive their business," said Nathaniel Rowe, research analyst, Aberdeen Group. "Aberdeen's research shows a high demand for these in-memory solutions, with companies planning to more than double the adoption rate of this technology in the next 12 to 24 months."
