Enhanced Aerospike speeds up big data deployment
Businesses are keen to harness the benefits of big data, but traditional database solutions are often confined by their design, making them hard to scale.
Aerospike which claims to be the world's fastest database has unveiled new features and enhancements to its product to improve performance, streamline deployment and breed a new generation of real-time, context-driven applications.
The latest release of the open-source, flash-optimized, in-memory, NoSQL database brings new clients, easier installation and deployment, storage and performance improvements, enterprise security enhancements and Hadoop integration. Aerospike's speed, scale and simplicity make it possible for organizations of all sizes to innovate with new applications that drive improvements, and enable bottom-line savings.
"Big data is big context, and organizations looking to harness the power of real-time context to personalize the user experience for millions of consumers across billions of devices have a small window of opportunity for success," says Monica Pal, CMO of Aerospike. "Aerospike's next-generation, NoSQL database is poised to lead the way as startups and enterprises alike choose its technology as the context store and system of engagement for consumer-facing applications. With Aerospike, companies can turn insights into action, reach consumers with the right message right now and scale with the best price to performance ratio, making it a no-brainer for today’s disruptors".
Unlike first-generation NoSQL databases and traditional in-memory technologies, Aerospike is self-managing and scales on a handful of servers instead of hundreds. Enhancements include more flexible development with upgrades for popular clients and a beta Ruby client. Deployment is simplifies with Docker containers and Click-to-Deploy on the Google Cloud Platform.
Storage and performance are improved with features like a new disk write cache and hot-swap SSD capability. Role-based authentication and authorization improve security and control. Enhanced Hadoop integration includes a patented Indexed MapReduce capability so Hadoop jobs can operate on a targeted subset of data within Aerospike.
The latest version is available now and you can find out more on the Aerospike website.
