Alluxio Enterprise Edition, now generally available, offers enterprise-grade support, security and data replication for production deployments, built on open source-based Alluxio Community Edition
SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 26, 2016) - Alluxio (formerly Tachyon), developers of the world's first system that unifies data at memory speed, today announced general availability of its product portfolio, Alluxio Enterprise Edition (AEE) and Alluxio Community Edition (ACE). Alluxio provides a unified view of enterprise data that spans disparate storage systems, locations and clouds, allowing any big data compute framework to access data in any storage system at memory speed. Today it runs critical workloads in Global 2000 companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, Barclay's Bank, CERN, ESRI, Huawei, Intel, and Juniper, among others.
The proliferation of big data compute frameworks has created a severe challenge to enterprises seeking to extract value from data stored in their disparate storage systems that span devices, locations and even across public/private clouds. Today's high-performance applications demand real-time responses, driving a massive industry shift to in-memory file systems. Alluxio's unified global namespace allows any compute framework to access disparate storage systems on premise and in the cloud at memory speed.
Alluxio Community Edition and Alluxio Enterprise Edition are tested and certified versions of the open source software originally developed at UC Berkeley's AMPLab. The software supercharges data storage and gives customers an easy-to-install integrated package. Also included is an administrative interface called the Alluxio Manager, that makes it simple to deploy, manage and monitor Alluxio clusters at any scale. Alluxio Enterprise Edition adds mission-critical features such as enterprise security, data replication and enterprise-grade support and professional services to ensure success for the largest and most demanding customers.
"Our software is in production today at some of the largest sites in the world, unifying data at memory speeds," said Haoyuan Li, co-creator of the Alluxio project and founding CEO of Alluxio, Inc. "Our Enterprise and Community Editions make it much easier for the broadest range of users to take advantage of the performance and data unification benefits of Alluxio. We help customers unlock data that is trapped in scores of disparate storage systems by connecting them to the world's most powerful big data frameworks with ease, delivering convenience and reliability with unprecedented performance."

Alluxio is proven in the enterprise
Alluxio proves its value in production scenarios where customers need to analyze vast amounts of data in real-time. It overcomes I/O limitations for running big data workloads that have to access remote storage. In addition, it allows big data workloads to share data at memory speed for orders of magnitude higher performance in running jobs. Finally, it provides a unified view of storage by transparently managing data across disparate storage systems.
