Over the past 3 weeks, I built a cluster running Eucalyptus + Terracotta. Today, Rich Wolski--Eucalyptus's CTO--and I did a joint webinar where the 500 or so people in attendance used our clustered solution. The system built itself in 4.5 minutes and then took 150 users generating about 2000 cache hits PER SECOND.

Want to see how to use Terracotta, Eucalyptus, and put the 2 together, watch our joint webinar over at http://www.terracotta.org/

If you were in attendance today, you saw us build a cluster of 4 Jetty servers and 4 Terracotta Servers plus a database node and a Terracotta load balancer. All in, we had 10 nodes running and were handling the throughput no problem. Makes sense...this is a rather large cluster for such a small number of concurrent users--150.

Anyways, I will blog more about the architecture of our new Terracotta-cloud product but for now I thought I would show everyone a picture of just how compact and powerful the cluster you were hitting is. Enjoy...

All,

Jeff Barr of Amazon.com-fame and I will be doing a joint webinar next week on running Terracotta-based apps in Amazon's EC2 public cloud. You will see a live demonstration. The demo surrounds a real Jetty app that we will invite you to hit w/ your web browser. While you are hitting the app, we will grow and shrink the Jetty cluster on the fly and you will see no loss of session or cache state. The load balancer respond dynamically to the node changes as well.

We will cover how we built this system and how you can go about getting the new Terracotta-cloud beta tools for your own use.

Just go to http://terracotta.webex.com and sign up for the March 23rd event.

Looking fwd to seeing you all there and answering your questions.

Till then,
