Product Enhancements Empower Organizations to Transcend the Chaos of Big Data in Enterprise IT Environments
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Sep 28, 2016) - Basho Technologies, the creator and developer of Riak® KV and Riak® TS, the world's most resilient NoSQL databases, today announced the latest versions of its Riak TS and Riak KV databases. Basho also announced enhancements including an updated Spark Connector, and enhanced Mesos support. These collective updates reinforce Basho's position as a leading NoSQL company that enables organizations to quickly create value from massive amounts of data, including streaming IoT sensor and device data, while relieving engineering and operational burdens with solutions that assure high availability and operational simplicity.
Basho NoSQL databases provide a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than competitors, as well as the high scalability enterprises require. The improvements to Riak KV and Riak TS make it easier for application developers to build scalable, future-proof applications and allow fine grain control over running operations to ensure peak performance. Building on work done with Cisco for MesosCon, Basho has now introduced an Erlang-based framework for Mesos to help its customers increase machine utilization efficiency.
Riak databases address some of the most pressing issues facing developers as they build big data and IoT applications capable of scaling to unprecedented size and withstanding the rigors of today's modern data realities. A recent Basho sponsored TechValidate survey of Riak users revealed the following findings:
"Basho continues to focus on a multi-model approach to help organizations simplify data management for big data applications," said Adam Wray, CEO, Basho.
