Making sense of Open Source
Open Source quotes

“Low quality code is not cheaper; it is vastly more expensive, even in the short term. Bad code slows everyone down from the minute that it is written. It creates a continuous and copious drag on further progress. It requires armies of coders to overcome that drag; and those armies must grow exponentially to maintain constant velocity against that drag.”

Transparent clustering: Terracotta

Scalability, high availability and distributed computing are the major challenges enterprises have to face now and in the upcoming future. Traditional application clustering requires proper ground-up design, major efforts and highly skilled staff to produce scalable architectures. Sourcesense has teamed up with Terracotta Inc., the leading provider of real application-level, transparent clustering technology, to provide our distributed computing practice with an effective framework to easily scale up new and existing applications.

  • Consultancy and assistance in evaluation, assessment and proof of concept
  • Architecture and implementation design
  • Training, mentoring and coaching
  • Terracotta integration with existing applications

  • Implementation and integration services
  • Localised support
