Hi Dennis: I suppose yes Terracotta Server could run in process with your App - or it could be a separate JVM.
In either case, If there is just a single BOX/JVM, all you get with Terracotta is overflow-to-disk (virtual memory feature) and persistence/HA (i.e. you can restore your application state to the point of outage). If you have to support a high 9s SLA, then you are presumably deploying your application on 2 JVMs/ 2 Boxes - so you are hedged against client-application failure or hardware failure (as quite a few of Terracotta's OEMs are doing). In that case, if you are using Terracotta to cluster state, then presumably you want Terracotta Servers deployed in a HA configuration. You would probably then run 1 Active Terracotta Server JVM on Box1 and the Standby Terracotta Server JVM on Box2 - presumably Networked HA (since it would be quite unwieldy to ship a SAN/NFS shared disk) Of course, deploying such software within an Enterprise is different from distributing such software - in which case they work out a custom deal with Terracotta or have to attribute. I don't fully grasp what single stand-alone package is meant to convey - so apologies if I answered the wrong question. Thx. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Thrysøe Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [tc-dev] Bundling Terracotta DSO Hi, Another subject: What is the best practice for distributing/deploying applications that use Terracotta DSO as single stand-alone packages? Starting the server in the same JVM or another JVM from the command line. What about configuration etc.? Any pointers to tutorials or such, would be very welcome.
