Reduce footprint, grow business
Customers typically reduce server or cloud instance footprint by up to 80 percent even as business and data grows. Regardless of industry, regardless of the legacy NoSQL competitor, our customers vastly reduce the servers they need to manage with Aerospike positioning them for growth without headaches.

FEATURES

Key features of the Aerospike Database

Aerospike provides unmatched predictable performance at any scale with up to 80% server reduction.

Document database

Storage, processing, and querying of JSON document data in real-time and at unlimited scale.

Query and search

Massively-parallel secondary indexes enable complex querying and SQL queries. Aerospike Expressions enable highly efficient value-based searches closer to the data.

Multi-site clustering

For global, active-active configurations with strong consistency.

Strong consistency

No data loss. Commit-to-device support for demanding correctness environments.

Cross datacenter replication (XDR)

Global, asynchronous replication between clusters creating global data hubs.

Hybrid Memory Architecture

Store data with traditional in-memory, unique Hybrid-Flash, All-Flash, or Persistent Memory storage architecture to optimize for performance and scale.

Compression

Provides lossless compression of records written to persistent storage.

High availability and uptime

High availability and a demonstrated uptime of five-nines or more, made possible by a patented cluster management and intelligent client technology in addition to local/remote replication.

Smart Client

Automatically distributes both data and traffic to all the nodes in a cluster. Automatic load balancing of the client improves both performance and correctness.

Dynamic cluster management

Automatic storage and exchange of node information including changes and status with automated triggers for rebalancing.

Change notification

Inject change notifications into message queues, or insert them into other databases for reliable and scalable systems.

Enterprise security

Full transport encryption. Support for encrypted storage and in-database transparent data encryption. Authentication, access control, and exception logging.

How it works

Build more with Aerospike

Eliminate the trade-offs between consistency and performance up to petabyte scale while reducing server footprint.

Smart Client™ architecture

Aerospike’s Smart Client™ automatically distributes both data and traffic to all the nodes in a cluster. Automatic load balancing of the client improves both performance and correctness.

Data storage engine

Aerospike has been desgined from the ground up to leverage the latest technology in memory management to store and process large swaths of data in-memory, hybrid-flash, all-flash, or in persistent memory.

Data distribution layer

The Aerospike data distribution results in unique, data partitioning that has uniform distribution of keys in the digest space, avoiding the creation of hotspots during data access, which helps achieve high levels of scale and fault tolerance. Aerospike colocates indexes and data to avoid any cross-node traffic when running read operations or queries.

Real-time transaction engine

The real-time transaction engine is responsible for reading and writing data upon request while providing consistency and isolation. This involves synchronous and asynchronous replication, requests to alternate nodes if a node becomes unavailable as well as conflict/duplicate resolution after a node rejoins a cluster (after being unavailable).

Cross-datacenter replication

Aerospike cross datacenter replication (XDR) enables multiple geographically dispersed data centers to stay in sync through high performance replication.

Build your next data-intensive global-scale app with confidence in data consistency and scalability.

Enterprise Edition

Strong consistency
Aerospike supports strong, immediate consistency to prevent conflicting writes and ensure that reads see the most recently committed data values.
Global replication
Applications built for high availability require geographic replication, often to a datacenter in a different region or to a different cloud provider.
Elastic scalability
As your use cases grow you can easily add more resources to grow as you need.
