According to a new article out of the companies, “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’.”
Dr. Amit Golander, Plexistor’s chief technology officer, commented, “We see it time and time again in NoSQL as well as SQL environments: sub-optimal performance due to storage bottlenecks… 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.”
