Ryft Delivers High-performance Data Analytics Using Amazon EC2 F1 Instances

Capabilities provided by Ryft running on AWS give customers fast, simple access to data search and analysis with Elasticsearch. F1 instances offer customers the performance and feature gains afforded by FPGAs without requiring massive infrastructure investments or specialized FPGA knowledge. The magic of the faster performance and enhanced features is in the power of the abstracted heterogeneous compute technology provided by the F1 instance and the Ryft technology.

Performance benchmarking
According to Ryft's benchmarking, Elasticsearch running on the Amazon EC2 F1 with Ryft software consistently performed in a fraction of the time it took to run the same query on the AWS C4.8xlarge instance type. Two benchmark tests using Ryft and F1 instances processed and completely searched 87GB and 175GB of log file data 63X and 72X faster, respectively.

"Traditionally, companies wanting to take advantage of the performance benefits of new heterogeneous compute technologies had to deploy those technologies within their own data center infrastructure and take on all the associated costs and risks of that deployment. AWS's investment in F1 changes all that," said Des Wilson, CEO of Ryft. "AWS provides the cutting-edge platforms while Ryft makes these new technologies simple to use, which gives AWS customers the unique advantage of a low-risk, low-upkeep solution with the highest performance. Ryft and F1 give users a substantial competitive advantage by allowing them to instantly mine their data to address changes in their target markets on the fly."

Extending and expanding performance and functionality of traditional Elasticsearch
Ryft's Elasticsearch is a preconfigured, ready-to-run image for the open source distributed real-­‐ time search and analytics engine. Searching raw files is as simple as running a normal    Elasticsearch query — without the data indexing, transformation and curation.

With Ryft and the new F1 instance, Elasticsearch users can eliminate data preparation and extend Elasticsearch to:

• Accelerate workflows with the ability to deploy pre-index and post-index searches.
• Speed search and analysis across unstructured data and JSON, XML, LOGs, CSV, TSV and other files with no transformation.
• Increase the power of edit distance with user-selectable changes to high-distance requests for fuzzy Hamming or Levenshtein searches.
• Enhance wildcard searches to include leading wildcard characters.
• Supercharge regular expressions and machine learning, coming later in 2017.
