PRNewswire writes, 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.”

NoSQL, along with in-memory databases, real-time analytics, and complex event processing challenge traditional compute and storage resources. Plexistor’s converged SDM solution runs both in-memory and traditional enterprise applications on a single infrastructure, without dedicated clusters, simplifying the data center architecture and management while reducing costs. It also allows users to leverage new and upcoming memory and storage technologies like volatile DRAM and emerging Non-Volatile memory devices such as NVDIMM-N and 3D XPoint™ as well as traditional flash storage devices such as NVMe and the upcoming NVMe over Fabric.
