Quote from terracotta website:
BigMemory gives Java applications instant, effortless access to a large memory footprint, free of the constraints of garbage collection.
BigMemory is pure Java and provides an in-process, off-heap cache that lets you store large amounts of data—up to a terabyte—closer to your application. This breakthrough solution improves memory utilization and application performance with both standalone and distributed caching.
