Emergent economics of Internet services have forced companies to move as much of their offline analytics systems to real-time online. Between advertisement bidding, online banking and high frequency trading, there is massive demand for data storage software that can provide and maintain high-throughput and sub-millisecond latency requirements of this new era of the Internet. Aerospike (as the only flash optimized noSQL database in the market) is designed from the ground up to not only tackle the performance requirements of massive data-stores, but also to reduce the complexity of formation, operation and maintenance of such database clusters. In this presentation, I will talk about the architecture of Aerospike and how it is designed to take on the challenges of performance, scaling and maintenance of Real-Time Big Data.
