Mainframes and other legacy systems struggle to meet the demands of today’s internet-scale applications in a cost-effective way. But their deep roots and complexity can make modernizing challenging and risky. Aerospike has a track record of delivering tangible business benefits through this journey with some of the world’s largest companies. This whitepaper describes the typical three-phase approach Aerospike customers have taken to modernize their applications:

• Cache – enhancing reads
• Augmentation – Aerospike as operational data store
• System of Record – Aerospike as system of record for modern applications

It details three case studies of customers that have chosen Aerospike for this phased approach to a data platform capable of meeting aggressive performance, scalability, and operational demands at a manageable cost.
