Enterprise Java company Terracotta has named Amit Pandey CEO to help grow out the company’s clustered JVM technology. Before joining Terracotta, Pandey held VP positions at Network Appliance. Terracotta founder and CTO Ari Zilka wants Pandey to continue driving Terracotta into the financial services, retail, telco and Internet services markets, where the technology is experiencing an uptake, according to the company. “Terracotta is drop-in technology that is easy to deploy and makes all Java applications enterprise-class,” Pandey said. “Our technology has industry-shifting ramifications because it requires no coding. We make open-source software enterprise-ready, so it’s a viable alternative to many commercial solutions.” Terracotta’s ability to bring caching and clustering into the Java runtime environment adds fault tolerance, scalability and high availability to any Java application, the company said.
