Reference Resource for Big Data Vendors
March 13, 2012
SoftArtisians and Riparian Data have been reporting on a series that examines some of the key players in Boston’s emerging big data scene.
The recent article, “Boston’s Big Datascape, Part 2: Nasuni, VoltDB, Lexalytics, Totutek, Cloudant” is the second in the series and examines five companies who may differ in their growth stages and approach but are similar in their ideology that “big data is the castle, and their tools [are] the keys.”
The article breaks each company down by product, founder, technologies used, target industries, and location.
Tokutek’s mission is to transform the way data is stored and retrieved and deliver a quantum leap in the performance of databases and file systems. The company breakdown was:
“Product: TokuDB brings massive data processing and analysis capabilities to heretofore neglected MySQL. It’s a drop-in replacement for InnoDV that extends the capacity of MySQL databases from GBs to TBs.
Founders: Michael A. Bender, Martín Farach-Colton (ln), Bradley C. Kuszmaul
Technologies used: MySQL, MVCC, ACID, Fractal Tree™ indexing
Target industries: Online Advertising, eCommerce, Social Networking, Mobile Solutions, ePublishing.”
We’re interested to see how this series develops and the innovative new companies that come about from it.
