Basho Technologies takes aim at more enterprises with upgrades
Summary
A new version of Basho Technologies‘ increasingly popular Riak open-source NoSQL distributed database has added upgrades for enterprise customers, a growing area of interest for the Cambridge, Mass.-based company. Basho supports Riak, a database that allows sites such as GitHub and Bump Technologies to store, replicate and retrieve data at scale, even when multiple nodes fail. As an open-source product, companies can adopt it easily after using legacy hardware to do similar work, and users have found it to be effective at a large scale. The next-generation feature upgrades have added to the original version by increasing bandwidth between databases in clusters as part of a premium data center replication service. Basho’s chief technology officer, Justin Sheehy, will speak about why companies don’t need to put big-data strategies in place at the GigaOM Structure:Data conference on March 20-21 in New York.
