Previously, Terracotta Universal Messaging was only available as a component of Software AG's webMethods. Now the unified messaging solution is available as a standalone product from Terracotta that customers can leverage for high performance messaging capabilities within and beyond the enterprise, as well as to web and mobile devices. The platform can also be integrated into existing infrastructure, and will form the messaging component of Terracotta's own In-Genius solution, a new native in-memory platform for real-time insight and intelligent action on Big Data. With Universal Messaging, In-Genius will offer high-speed data transport to and from In-Genius components, providing fast access to web and mobile devices, while also extending the cross-platform support of Terracotta BigMemory. BigMemory 4.0, introduced in March, allows for the storage of hundreds of terabytes of high-value data in machine memory for blazingly fast, predictable access.

"Today's consumers are increasingly demanding instant access to applications and services, from anywhere and at any time, and we expect that demand to grow exponentially," said Eddie McDaid, Managing Director of Universal Messaging for Terracotta, Inc. "Big, fast data at your fingertips requires seamless real-time data movement, no matter what type of system or device you are using.  Our Universal Messaging solution resolves this critical big data challenge and it's battle-tested, with a proven track record over the past decade powering the most demanding applications across multiple industries, including financial services, retail, gaming and utilities."

Offering full enterprise messaging functionality, Universal Messaging is easily managed and integrated with existing infrastructure, lowering complexity, reducing costs and shortening time to market.  For enterprises that view timely data access as a competitive advantage, Terracotta Universal Messaging is the only comprehensive, scalable solution available in a single enterprise-ready product.
