Per PRNewswire, Plexistor and Couchbase released results of benchmarking the new Couchbase Server 4.5 as a cluster of containers leveraging Plexistor’s Software Defined Memory (SDM). The results showed that Plexistor’s SDM sped up the Couchbase Server 4.5 throughput and latency allowing Couchbase users to sustain much higher throughput with full persistence.

“Traditionally, NoSQL DB users using commodity IO subsystems had to accept a significant performance degradation to assure that data has been written to a persistent media,” said Ravi Mayuram, senior vice president, products and engineering at Couchbase. “With Couchbase Server and Plexistor’s SDM solution, our customers will benefit from both performance and durability enabling new use cases for them in both container and bare metal environments.”

“We see it time and time again in NoSQL as well as SQL environments: sub-optimal performance due to storage bottlenecks,” said Dr. Amit Golander, Plexistor’s chief technology officer. “Couchbase Server 4.5 is a significant improvement over the previous 4.1 version by itself. SDM and containers complement the Couchbase story, by introducing affordable full persistency and ease of management with no compromises.”

Couchbase databases are used by hundreds of household names like AOL, AT&T, Cisco, Comcast, Disney, eBay, General Electric, Marriott, PayPal, Tesco, Verizon, and Wells Fargo. Developers around the world choose Couchbase for its advantages in data-model flexibility, elastic scalability, performance and 24×365 availability to build enterprise web, mobile, and IoT applications. The Couchbase platform includes Couchbase, Couchbase Lite mobile NoSQL database, and Couchbase Sync Gateway.
