New Aerospike Release Lets Enterprises Consolidate Expensive Legacy Cache and Database Platforms
May 15 2024 - 5:00AM
Aerospike, Inc. (“Aerospike”) today released version 7.1 of its
popular real-time multi-model database, which expands and adds new
best-in-class caching, storage, and management capabilities and
offers customers the option to deploy real-time use cases on less
expensive network attached storage in the cloud or on-prem. Version
7.1 enables enterprise customers to run hundreds of caches on a
relatively small Aerospike cluster as a shared service, thereby
cutting costs.
Caching is a classic tactical fix to boost application
performance. But as thousands of legacy cache databases proliferate
across the enterprise, complexity and costs soar. Aerospike’s
unique strengths of low latency and high throughput eliminate the
need for standalone, specialized caches for operational
workloads.
Version 7.1 delivers precise policy-driven control of which data
is cached using a configurable least recently used (LRU) eviction,
enabling teams to stand up Aerospike as a shared in-memory cache
service. This enables enterprises to consolidate hundreds of legacy
cache databases from vendors like Redis into a single, small,
centrally managed and cost-effective 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.”
