CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwire - Jan 24, 2012) - Basho Technologies, the leader in highly available, distributed data store technologies, announced today that Auric Systems International, a leader in merchant transaction processing solutions, relies on Basho's Riak to power its PaymentVault™ solution for PCI compliance. Riak was chosen because of the simplicity by which it replicates data, including stored encrypted credit card tokenized data, its ability to automate the aging of data, and its availability as open source. The solution was first deployed for Archway Marketing Services, the marketing logistics and fulfillment services leader for the Fortune 1000.
Using Riak, Auric is able to reduce the complexity of storing and replicating massive amounts of sensitive information. Auric also benefits from Riak's HTTP interface giving it the ability to not only use standard tools to talk to Riak, but position the database for automatic load balancing.
"We are thrilled with Riak's reliability and performance," said Raymond Cote, Auric's CEO. "We were up and running with the solution in no time, and can now tokenize and store millions of credit cards in mere hours, cutting down on cost and time for each project. The Basho engineers and developer advocates have truly become an extension of our own team, providing feedback and support throughout the implementation process."
"Archway is extremely satisfied with the PCI compliant solution provided by Basho Technologies and Auric," said Clay Perfall, CEO of Archway. "The safety and security of consumer data is critical to Archway and the clients we serve. We look forward to continuing to work together to protect our clients and their consumers by ensuring that their data is secure and reducing credit card fraud. Both Basho and Auric have been terrific partners to that end."
"Enabling a Level 1 PCI service provider like Auric to meet compliance standards is just another great use case for Riak and NoSQL distributed database technology," said Donald J. Rippert, president and CEO, Basho Technologies. "We look forward to maintaining a trusted partnership with Auric and delivering the high level of support needed to maintain its tokenization solution, while simultaneously protecting the brands of great companies such as Archway."
