Handling the deluge of data: Enterprise solutions | #StructureConf
by Tim Hawkins | Nov 19, 2015
“Bringing zen to the deluge of data” is something most enterprises strive for. And that is exactly the tagline that Basho Technologies, Inc. uses to describe its scalable distributed systems.
Adam Wray, CEO and president of Basho, spoke to George Gilbert, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Structure 2015 in San Francisco.
Big weather data
One of Basho’s primary customers, The Weather Company, has one of the largest networks of weather-related data acquisition instruments in the world. Such a widely distributed network of equipment has inherent latency issues.
Additionally, the Weather Channel potentially compounded the latency problem by using distributed analysis centers, which are operationally intensive. Basho worked with The Weather Company to install its Riak KV product (a distributed NoSQL database) to solve the problem. The Weather Company is now able to provide weather data from its massive weather monitoring network to its own customers, worldwide in real time.
Riak Key/Value
Basho has several database solutions for a wide range of customers, but its flagship product has always been Riak Key/Value. This is a NoSQL database platform targeted toward enterprise customers, yet it is thousands of dollars cheaper than a similar competitor solution, according to Wray.
“We are probably one of the most operationally easy scalable distributed databases in the world,” said Wray. “Cassanda and Riak are known for high level scale, but we are known for high-level ease of scale,” said Wray. “If you’re the traditional Enterprise client, you’re like ‘look, don’t have distributed systems experts. I don’t want to have distributed systems experts. I just want my data to be available.’” And that is where Riak’s ease-of-use comes into play.
