Clusterovací platforma Terracotta

Abstract

This thesis is devoted to Terracotta which is a technology offering programmers an absolutely unique approach to developing distributed systems. It does not address only Terracotta though, but also contains an introduction to distributed systems. The findings from this introduction are then used throughout all the thesis, which further addresses the history of Terracotta, its theoretical fundamentals and with means how distributed systems are built upon it. In the second part there is given a vision and design of an example application which is then realized both upon Terracotta and by means of another framework. Both these solutions are then compared too. The final chapter deals with a guidance how already existing distributed applications can be ported to the Terracotta platform.
