WANdisco Launches Non-Stop HBase
Reliable Real-Time Transaction Processing Now A Reality for Big Data
London, UK - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the provider of continuous availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data, is pleased to announce the launch of a new product - Non-Stop HBase for real-time transaction processing in Big Data.
WANdisco has applied its unique, patented active-active replication technology to HBase, making it continuously available across multiple data centers any distance apart. With this product, WANdisco eliminates the single points of failure in HBase.
HBase is an open source, non-relational, distributed database modeled after Google's BigTable and used for random, real-time read/write access to Big Data including Facebook's messaging platform. This capability has been added to both the Hortonworks and Cloudera distributions. HBase is a product which can be - and often is - used in conjunction with Hadoop.
WANdisco's patented replication technology has been applied to the two availability and performance bottlenecks in HBase's architecture - its region and master servers - eliminating the risk of downtime and data loss. This builds on the solid foundation already in place with the application of WANdisco's Non-Stop technology to Hadoop's NameNode, which HBase availability also depends upon.
David Richards, Executive Chairman and CEO, said:
"HBase is used for real-time interactive applications built on Hadoop. We have developed this product following feedback from some of our early pilots with potential customers and we believe this will extend our potential addressable market into the Hadoop live transaction space. Many of these Big Data applications are mission critical and even the cost of one minute of downtime is unacceptable. For the first time we've eliminated the risk of downtime and data loss by enabling HBase to be continuously available on a global scale."
