MEDIA ALERT: Storage Switzerland and Plexistor Co-Present Webinar on Overcoming Storage Challenges of Cassandra and Couchbase NoSQL Databases

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Storage Switzerland and Plexistor announced today they will present a joint webinar on overcoming performance issues in NoSQL databases caused by storage. Plexistor CTO Dr. Amit Golander and Storage Switzerland president and founder George Crump will cover the benefits of converged Software Defined Memory (SDM) for these applications and storage convergence for applications like in-memory databases and NoSQL.

NoSQL databases like Cassandra and Couchbase are quickly becoming key components of the modern IT infrastructure, however, this modernization creates new challenges – especially for storage. In-memory databases perform well when there is enough memory available. However, when the data sets get too large and they need to access storage, application performance suffers dramatically. Even if there is enough memory available but another problem develops, such as a node failure, data has to reload from storage since system memory is volatile. The impact on performance is severe during this recovery time.

George Crump is President and Founder of Storage Switzerland. With 25 years of experience designing storage solutions for data centers across the US, he has seen the birth of such technologies as RAID, NAS and SAN. Prior to founding Storage Switzerland he was CTO at one the nation's largest storage integrators.

Dr. Amit Golander holds over 50 patents and has published a number of technology articles in prestigious engineering journals. Golander has extensive experience in corporate data center and cloud infrastructures as well as university research and development on storage, servers, and networks.

Plexistor's converged SDM solution runs both in-memory and traditional enterprise applications on a single infrastructure, without dedicated clusters, simplifying the data center architecture and management and reducing costs. It also allows users to leverage new and upcoming memory and storage technologies like volatile DRAM and emerging Non-Volatile memory devices such as NVDIMM-N and 3D XPoint™ as well as traditional flash storage devices such as NVMe and the upcoming NVMe over Fabric.

About Plexistor

Plexistor has built a new Software-Defined Memory (SDM) platform to leverage volatile DRAM and emerging persistent memory, such as NVDIMM-N and the forthcoming 3DXPoint™, with large capacity, persistence of storage and performance of memory. Plexistor's solution upgrades infrastructure to ultra-low latency converged primary storage that enables in-memory applications to run large data sets at memory speeds. 100 times faster than flash SSD, Plexistor's SDM supports next-generation applications such as relational databases, in-memory databases, NoSQL, big data analytics, and complex event processing that challenge traditional compute and storage resources. The platform works across the data center to bring together in-memory and Enterprise storage paradigms, so conventional applications and business processes also benefit from SDM performance. Plexistor was founded in Israel in 2013 and is headquartered in Mountain View, with its R&D in Herzliya, Israel. For further information visit www.plexistor.com.
