Hadoop and NoSQL databases have emerged as leading choices by bringing new capabilities to the field of data management and analysis. At the same time, the RDBMS, firmly entrenched in most enterprises, continues to advance in features and varieties to address new challenges.
Join us for a special roundtable webcast on April 7th to learn:
The key differences between Hadoop, NoSQL and RDBMS today
The key use cases
How to choose the best platform for your business needs
When a hybrid approach will best fit your needs
Best practices for managing, securing and integrating data across platforms
High performance with Aerospike’s hybrid approach to memory also means that Aerospike can scale up to store more data per server and process the same load with 10x fewer servers than a DRAM only system.
Here a customer priced a 10TB system (2x replication) that had to handle a total of 500k TPS.
A 14 node cluster with Aerospike cost only $236k compared to the 186 server cluster they would have had to purchase, install, operate and maintain with the competition.
The prices of the servers were based the price of a Dell R320 and 4 Intel S3700 800 GB in January of 2014. These drives do not need to be overprovisioned. The major issue with the cost on the RAM based servers is the use of 6 x 32 GB DIMM. 32 GB DIMMs are very expensive, on the SSD servers, we could use 6 x 8 GB DIMMs (48 GB RAM). While it is possible to use smaller DIMMs, you will need to have a larger chassis with more CPU. The result is the price of the server is roughly the same (per GB).
Key Points:
All of the above challenges
If you use Relational, must use cache and you compromise the value of RDBMS = Consistency & durability issues as well
