Additions to Leading Open Source Distributed Database Extends Ability to Process and Analyze Information Stored in Riak
CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwire - Sep 27, 2011) - Basho Technologies, the provider of distributed database and storage management solutions, today announced the upcoming release of the much-anticipated Riak 1.0 open source database platform, as well as its Riak Enterprise commercially licensed offering. Riak 1.0 includes features and tools aimed at helping organizations solve the difficult problems involved with managing and interpreting data in a distributed fashion, such as in cloud-computing environments.
The release of Riak 1.0 follows a period of tremendous growth in the Riak open source community, with hundreds of organizations benefitting from Riak's distributed database functionality in production environments. Additionally, Basho Technologies has seen accelerated demand for solutions based on Riak, seeing record results in terms of customer and revenue growth in the first three quarters of 2011. New customers and users in recent quarters include Bump Technologies, Clipboard.com, the Health System of Denmark, DotCloud, Formspring, Ideeli, i-Velocity (marking Basho's first customer engagement in India), Mezeo, SEOmoz, Social Genius, Swipely, Voxer, Yammer, and many more enterprises and agencies.
"We are excited about the new features in Riak 1.0, as they give us a step up in terms of taking advantage of the data we're already capturing with Riak," said Ty Amell, co-founder and CEO at Stackmob, a mobile applications platform provider. "New features like secondary indices will enable us to build smarter capabilities that add greater value to users of our existing mobile platform."
"Riak 1.0 sets a new bar for managing data in a distributed environment," said Don Rippert, president and CEO of Basho Technologies. "Riak has already proven its stability, ability to scale and provide absolute fault-tolerance in a highly distributed deployment; with 1.0, users of Riak can now more easily build and maintain powerful business applications on top of our platform."
Features of Riak 1.0 Include:
"Riak has already proven to be a great tool for capturing data, regardless of type, volume or environment, in a highly available and fault-tolerant manner," said Eric Brewer, creator of the CAP Theorem, vice president of infrastructure at Google and member of Basho's Board of Directors. "With the features in Riak 1.0, users will have not just a battle-proven database but better tools for analyzing and processing the data they capture and store with Riak."
