History

Tervela was founded in 2004, at the beginning of a massive transformation in the way businesses built and operated high-performance distributed applications. Tervela's Data Fabric consists of both hardware appliances and software (virtual) appliances that overlay on top of existing data center infrastructure and cloud services. The company introduced the first hardware accelerated messaging switch in 2007 prior to this hardware accelerated message switching was done primarily on XML data. In 2009 the company introduced several products that allowed scalable middleware to deliver messages incrementally scalable well into the millions of messages per second. In 2011 Tervela introduced a set of virtual appliances compatible with the hardware accelerated appliances. Tervela's message fabric begins to incorporate together in one set of middleware the different classification of messaging described in the Judith Hurwitz article Sorting Out Middleware.
