Specific characteristics

Aerospike is an enterprise-class, NoSQL database solution delivering predictable performance at scale, superior uptime, and high availability at the lowest TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) compared to first-generation NoSQL or relational databases. 
Aerospike was purpose-built with a highly parallelized architecture to support real-time, Big Data-driven applications that cost-effectively scale up and out. Aerospike can run in pure RAM, but is the first to be uniquely optimized for use with solid-state hard drives (SSDs). For predictable low latency, Aerospike indexes are always stored in RAM, but individual tables or namespaces in Aerospike can be stored in either RAM or directly on SSDs, and data on SSDs is accessed in parallel via a proprietary flash-optimized log structured file system.

Competitive advantages
  • Optimized for use with SSDs (solid-state hard drives)
  • Scales horizontally and vertically
  • Auto-sharding & auto-healing
  • Smart clients
  • Proven mission-critical deployments in renowned companies across many industries
Typical application scenarios

Aerospike excels in mission-critical applications that have mixed read/write workloads and in scenarios that require speed at scale. Because of its design, Aerospike is often used as a persistent cache and a user store to address real-time data collection, distribution and analysis requirements common to certain Internet-centric businesses. These include adtech (advertising technology), e-commerce, online bidding, online gaming, and online gambling. Aerospike is also used in the fintech (financial technology) industry for use cases ranging from online trading to fraud detection. Leaders in telecommunications, media, retail and and technology also trust Aerospike to power their web-scale workloads for use cases such as call data records, real-time bidding, recommendation engines and caching.

Key customers

Nielsen, Williams-Sonoma, Inmobi, AppNexus, Telco (confidential), Financial Services (confidential).
Partners include Intel, Samsung, Amazon Web Services, Cloudera, Dell and Pivotal.

Market metrics

Aerospike's combination of speed, scalability, and reliability delivers 10x performance or 1/10th the cost compared to other databases. These claims are substantiated by benchmarks (http://www.aerospike.com/category/benchmarks)
