Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox company

Aerospike is the company behind the Aerospike open source NoSQL distributed database management system.[1][2] Citrusleaf, a Mountain View, California based company which rebranded to Aerospike in August 2012, announced the product in 2011.[3][4][5] The software is used by developers to deploy real-time big data applications.[5][6]

History

Citrusleaf was founded in 2009 by CTO Brian Bulkowski and vice president of engineering and operations Srini V. Srinivasan.[1][3][4] The company rebranded to Aerospike in 2012.[3] The database was initiallyШаблон:When used mainly in the advertising industry as a server-side cookie store, where read and write performance is paramount.[6][7] It formed the core user data storage for adMarketplace and several other advertising companies including BlueKai, Tapad, The Trade Desk, Sony's So-net, and eXelate. Other customers include payment systems, gaming, cyber-security, and e-commerce industries.[7][8] In 2012, the web site Wikibon promoted Aerospike for transactional analytic applications.[6][7] It had automatic fail-over, replication, and cross data center synchronization.[7][9][10][11]

In August 2012, Aerospike acquired the database AlchemyDB.[12] AlchemyDB, led by Russell Sullivan, is a hybrid RDBMS/NoSQL-datastore that has been optimized for memory efficiency.[3][12] Aerospike made the acquisition with funding from New Enterprise Associates, Draper Associates, Columbus Nova Technology Partners, and Alsop Louie Partners.[8][13]

In December 2012, online ad broker Tapad bought an Aerospike flash-based NoSQL database running on SSDs with indices held in RAM.[2][5] The Aerospike database allowed Tapad the cost benefit of dealing with memory as a "single level store" by utilizing flash as a memory extension.[2]

In June 2014, Aerospike raised $20 million in a Series C round of funding. The company announced it had open sourced its technology.[14][15][16] The company also partnered with Adform, InMobi, and Vizury in 2014.[17][18]

In February 2015, Aerospike named John Dillon, previously of Salesforce.com, as its CEO.[19][20]

A round of $32 million of funding was announced on November 18, 2019, led by Triangle Peak Partners.[21]

Aerospike database

Шаблон:Main

The Aerospike database management system is a key-value datastore, or distributed hash table, that delivers predictable, sub-millisecond query response times.[8][12] It also has the ability to scale to very large sizes while maintaining high speeds.[8][12] Its code is engineered to match the characteristics of flash memory, as opposed to more traditional methods.[22]

Aerospike uses row-based random access with indexes in memory and data in memory or on SSD (solid-state drive) storage.[7][8] The database holds data that is accessible in real time.[7]
