Brian Bulkowski, Co-Founder & Chief Technical Officer, Aerospike

A Database Month event http://www.DatabaseMonth.com/database/petascale-analytics

Recent innovations in storage, like SanDisk's new InfiniFlash offering, are driving higher storage densities and lower prices. Flash-optimized-NoSQL has the scalability to handle InfinFlash's 512G of Flash, and a two node HA DB cluster capable of over 1M TPS could fit in only 5u.

These solutions enable analytics with Java, a new programming model of compute at an easy to program Java application layer. This architecture removes the need to outguess a SQL optimizer or debug stored procedures.

The talk will discuss this emerging architecture, hardware options and prices along with example use cases.
