Alex Miller: Java enterprise clustering with Terracotta
Alex Miller is a respected Java concurrency and scalability enthusiast 
who works on Terracotta, an open source, Java-based clustering system. In this talk with Andrew Glover, Alex demystifies
Terracotta, explaining the programming magic that enables enterprise customers to run 50 to 100 JVMs on a single application
server instance. Alex also talks about Terracotta's "sweet spot" -- storing session data off of the database -- and Terracotta
3.0, which promises new features that he says will eliminate certain scalability barriers.
