How is terracotta charged?

People who use terracotta are very concerned about how they charge fees, but the official website does not know how to charge fees. It only divides open source, es, and FX categories.

Of all of terracotta's specified cial products, the enterprise suite provides the ultimate flexibility. it is designed for MERs mers who have the need to solve multiple different problems within their applications. as such it nodes des the core terracotta point products-ehcache, Web sessions and quartz scheduler-as well as a supported version of the core terracotta platform for Distributed Shared Objects (DSO ).
The Enterprise suite comes in two editions-Ex and FX. FX is designed for unlimited scale. [[It nodes des the high throughput terracotta server array with data striping feature to partition cache data and enables you want to add scale on demand]. [[server striping means more capacity and more throughput for your Enterprise Java application]. adding server array striping requires nothing more than a simple configuration change. no application changes are required.
As with all other terracotta specified cial products, the enterprise suite provided des enterprise support, monitoring, management, and visualization.

 

The following is a response to a charge question from people on the Forum:

I 've read in the documentation that it's not possible to run an active-active server array with terracotta es. the terracotta FX version will lift this restrictions. but there is only a trial version for 30 days available on your page.

Elasticsearch does not support active-active server array. That is, striping feature to partition cache data and enables to add scale on demand.
The FX version has a 30-day trial. You need to enter a form before the trial. After the trial, sales of terracotta will contact you further, check whether the trial has solved your problem and further purchases. Terracotta does not mark the price on the website.

 

......

When you claim that terracotta is open source, and at the end I have to fill out a form to get a trial version for 30 days... so is terracotta FX still open source?

 

 

The following is Ari's answer:
Hmm,

Not sure what to say. terracotta FX is not open source. Maybe you did not realize that? But since it is not OSS, it hopefully explains why the trial is 30 days, etc.

Moreover, everything you do in terracotta es will translate directly to fx. (FX includes all functions of ES) It is almost a perfect drop-in underneath an app already integrated with es. (FX can seamlessly integrate es applications)

Think of ES as [[[smart-scale and FX as easy-scale]. es can go very fast. we have specified users doing large updates at a rate of 5 k-20 k TPS. FX can do more TPS but importantly, FX lets you skip some tuning and expertise-building and instead just spend money on HW on which to run terracotta. HW hardware ).

 

So I suggest you:
(A) Get integrated first,
(B) Decide you like it but need to see the scale with FX
(C) If you need FX, fill out the trial request and use that to vet the scale and then
(D) make a purchase demo-for FX vs. Staying With es and tuning your app by hand to get the scale.

Cheers,
