Version 7.1 of Aerospike’s real-time multi-model database has been launched; it allows clients the choice to install real-time use cases on less costly network-connected storage in the cloud or on-premises, while also expanding and adding new best-in-class caching, storage, and administration features.
With version 7.1, enterprise clients may operate hundreds of caches as a shared service on a comparatively small Aerospike cluster, saving money.
A traditional tactical hack to improve application speed is caching. However, complexity and expenses are skyrocketing as hundreds of old cache databases spread around the organization. Because of Aerospike’s superior low latency and high throughput capabilities, operational workloads no longer require isolated, specialized caches.
With version 7.1, teams can set up Aerospike as a shared in-memory cache service, with precise policy-driven control over which data is cached through customizable least recently used (LRU) eviction. This makes it possible for businesses to combine hundreds of outdated cache databases from suppliers like as Redis into a single, compact, reasonably priced, and centrally managed Aerospike database cluster.
“Enterprises modernizing their application infrastructure for real-time and AI applications want flexibility and a rich set of choices and price points for where data is stored. They also want to combat the complexity of the legacy database architectures underneath,” said Lenley Hensarling, Aerospike Chief Product Officer. “Aerospike delivers data instantly wherever it is needed in the enterprise. Customers can now consolidate legacy caches on a highly efficient platform, knowing that as the applications scale up and out they have a single high-performance data platform to grow infinitely with the business without breaking the bank.”
Delivers Ultimate Storage and Cost Flexibility
Recently named “In-memory Database of the Year,” Aerospike Database 7 delivered a new unified storage format with the flexibility to choose the right storage engine for different workloads, even within the same cluster. Database 7.1 builds on this storage flexibility by adding support for low-cost, persistent cloud block storage like AWS Elastic Block Storage (EBS); popular on-prem enterprise network attached storage (NAS) devices; and networked NVMe-compatible block storage. This delivers enterprise customers more deployment options with a rich set of choices and price points for where data is stored to match the business or technical use case.
“LRU eviction capabilities in Aerospike help us juggle touch operations in read-heavy workloads,” said Robert St. Marie, senior database engineer at The Trade Desk. “By simplifying our application code in this way, we can free up our developers’ attention to focus on their area of expertise, while also expanding our ability to operate and scale clusters with our developers’ needs.”
