Neimat’s pioneering roles at Oracle and TimesTen with in-memory relational databases will help Aerospike drive the next generation of hybrid in-memory and flash databases
Mountain View, CA – May 20, 2013– The big data discussion is shifting to “fast data” as more companies seek to harness the unprecedented volumes of information being generated at high velocity via Web, social and mobile interactions and sensors. These businesses are rolling out new applications that respond immediately to what people, devices and systems are doing now. In turn, this is driving the demand for a new class of highly distributed in-memory databases that also are optimized for fast, stable flash-based storage.
In the wake of this fast data wave, Aerospike, Inc. (http://Aerospike.com) has attracted in-memory database pioneer Marie-Anne Neimat to join the real-time database company as an advisor. Ms. Neimat co-founded TimesTen, Inc. the first company to develop and commercialize an in-memory relational database. Most recently, she served as vice president of engineering for three of Oracle’s databases, including TimesTen, which Oracle acquired. Bringing a track record of database innovation and deep insight into CIOs’ demands, she will play a strategic role in helping Aerospike to build on its technology leadership and rapid market adoption.
The Future of Fast Data in Production Today
Already, customers (http://www.aerospike.com/why-aerospike/customers/) have the enterprise-grade Aerospike real-time hybrid DRAM and flash memory database (http://www.aerospike.com/performance/architecture/) in production supporting fast data applications within some of the world’s most data-intensive environments. These companies’ real-time big data platforms rely on Aerospike to consistently respond within milliseconds, even while scaling to hundreds of thousands of transactions per second (TPS) and managing billions of objects and terabytes of data—all with 100% uptime.
“The ubiquity of smart devices is heralding a new era of fast data where the value of applications lies in the ability to sense and respond to Internet-scale data in real time. However, it is also challenging databases to cost-effectively and reliably deliver speed at scale,” Ms. Neimat observed. “Aerospike is at the forefront of the database revolution in addressing this challenge with a unique hybrid memory approach and scale-up/scale-out architecture that is deployed at dozens of Internet-scale sites today. I’m excited to join the Aerospike team in building on this tremendous momentum.”
Joining Forces With In-Memory Database Innovator
Marie-Anne Neimat was at Oracle Corporation where she most recently served as vice president of development for three database products: Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database, Oracle Berkeley Database, and Oracle NoSQL Database. Prior to joining Oracle, Ms. Neimat was co-founder of TimesTen, Inc. the first company to develop and commercialize an in-memory relational database. There, she served as vice president of engineering and board member, and in 2004 she was recognized on the Fast Company Fast 50 list of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. TimesTen, Inc. was acquired by Oracle in 2005. Prior to founding her own company, Ms. Neimat worked at HP Labs where she managed several database research projects. Ms. Neimat holds a BSC in mathematics from Stanford University and a PhD in computer science from UC Berkeley. She holds several patents and is the author of many publications in refereed conferences and journals.
“It is a deep honor to have Marie-Anne join us as an advisor. With her roles in leading in-memory database design at Oracle and TimesTen, she brings valuable insights into the data demands facing CTOs today, and a track record of success in growing database adoption,” said Bruce Fram, Aerospike CEO. “With Marie-Anne joining Don Haderle, father of IBM DB2, and Roger Sippl, Informix founder and Silicon Valley pioneer, we have an incredible advisory board with an unmatched breadth and depth of experience. These advisors, along with the technology rock stars driving our database development, are solidly positioning us to lead the fast data revolution being fueled by the Internet economy.”
