Oracle tried to bring in grid like functionality with its 10/11g database; but it's not a grid at all. Lacking in real scalability , a massive number of nodes and low complexity. So i believe the grid will live as object grid and terracotta seems to be very resource-gentle in handling them. kind regards Karl Hello Alex,
