SAN FRANCISCO and HANNOVER, Germany, March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Terracotta, Inc., the leader in in-memory technologies for enterprise Big Data, today unveiled the newest version of its flagship in-memory data platform, BigMemory. With BigMemory version 4.0, enterprises can move up to hundreds of terabytes of high-value data from slow disk drives to machine memory for blazingly fast, predictable access.

BigMemory 4.0 also adds a free production version of BigMemory Max for distributed in-memory data management, as well as compatibility with Hadoop, allowing enterprises to glean and share Big Data insights at in-memory speed.
"The amount of data generated in minutes each day in 2013 equals the entire amount of data generated between the dawn of civilization up until 2003," said Robin Gilthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Terracotta, Inc. "The expanding volumes of different types of data from mobile, cloud, social, sensors and devices are creating incredible complexity for businesses. The BigMemory 4.0 platform was designed to simplify access to, and management of, a company's most important data in real-time."
Available today as a stand-alone solution, BigMemory 4.0 will also power In-Genius, Terracotta's upcoming native in-memory platform for intelligent action on Big Data. In-Genius will deliver real-time insights from any source of dynamic data to any delivery channel, including web, mobile and point-of-sale, for immediate action.
