In Spite of Loss of CEO, Basho Still Running Strong
March 20, 2014
The article titled Basho’s CEO, CTO and Chief Architect Leave the NoSQL Upstart on The Register reports on the company’s insistence that in spite of these major upheavals, the upstart is still moving forward with its “distributed system dream.” Former Basho CTO Justin Sheehy and now-former chief architect Andy Gross were both part of the companies formation and helped create the flagship technology Riak as well. The article explains Riak,
“…an open-source scale-out NoSQL database that is used by various large organizations around the world including Best Buy, the UK’s National Health Service, Comcast…Riak is a high-availability, fault-tolerant database management system that uses a key/value model for object storage. Its tech is fully distributed so each node contains a full copy of the Riak package, allowing whole sections of a data center to suffer a brownout before the service goes down. If configured correctly, it can also survive an entire data center-wide failure.”
Sheehy spoke assuring words about Basho’s future, promising that while the changes sounded menacing, the departing employees were still on good terms with the company. Meanwhile they are in the process of finding a new chief executive. Past employees have left Basho to take up positions at SolidFire and Orchestrate.io.
