Optimized Platform Addresses Massive Data
Requirements for Cognitive Era
Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:MLNX), a leading supplier of
high-performance, end-to-end smart interconnect solutions for data
center servers and storage systems, today announced support for the
new Open Platform for Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) on IBM Power
Systems.
“As the need for new applications to be delivered faster than
ever increases in a digital world, developers are turning to modern
software development models including DevOps, as-a-Service and
self-service to increase the volume, velocity and variety of
business applications,” said Terri Virnig, VP, Power Ecosystem and
Strategy at IBM. “With Open Platform for DBaaS, IBM is supporting
these cloud development models to provide complete control of
data, access and security for compliance, as well as the choice and
flexibility for agile development of innovative new
applications.”
In the Cognitive Computing era, businesses face a deluge of data
from a wide variety of sources including internal, external,
social, mobile, and sensors. Traditional enterprise computing, with
its reliance on conventional databases designed for structured
data, is unable to cope with this flood of data. Organizations
everywhere are modernizing their data platforms, using the entire
range of available technology to derive patterns and insights from
both structured and unstructured data. Next generation applications
based on open source technology, in particular open source
databases, are critical for this modernization.
“Companies must undergo digital transformation in order to
compete and lead in the data-driven Insight Economy, and open
source economics and innovation are speeding this digital
transformation,” said Kevin Deierling, vice president marketing,
Mellanox Technologies. “Open Database-as-a-Service has proven
to be one of the most efficient ways to meet today’s business
requirements including high performance, high availability, and
scalability at a lower cost of ownership. In order to achieve these
goals, it is critical to choose the right interconnect
solution.”
DBaaS has a number of advantages over traditional databases.
First, it delivers improvement in speed and agility, as today’s
cloud workloads require on-demand and agile provisioning of
databases. Second, Open DBaaS results in a significant reduction in
licensing and infrastructure costs. Finally, database sprawl,
generated by the hundreds or thousands of unutilized databases that
have accumulated over the years in organizations, is
eliminated.
The solution is ideal for developers who need fast, flexible,
and secure performance and reliability as they work on multiple
applications using multiple operating systems and databases. DevOps
and Operations staff need a span of control to allocate database
services, and CIO/CTO executives need to optimize return on
investment. Modern and mature open source DBaaS such as
EnterpriseDB and MongoDB are hardened for enterprise deployments
and have innovative new capabilities beyond those of traditional
enterprise databases. For example, healthcare organizations are
using MongoDB to build new customer call-center applications that
combine traditional patient billing data with new data formats such
as MRIs and lab test results and text data from specialist
appointments. These new call centers are significantly reducing
patient wait times and improving quality of care. Other
organizations are using open source database management systems to
combine GPS location data with real-time social media and video
feeds with their own data to offer public transportation
alternatives during peak travel times.
Open Platform for DBaaS on IBM Power Systems is an open
source-based platform that integrates servers, intelligent
interconnect, storage, operating systems, middleware, and
databases, and disrupts conventional x86-based systems with
demonstrable price-performance advantages.
The exponential growth of data demands not only the fastest
throughput but also smarter networks. Mellanox intelligent
interconnect solutions incorporate advanced acceleration engines
that perform sophisticated processing algorithms on the data as it
moves through the network. Intelligent network solutions greatly
improve the performance and total infrastructure efficiency of data
intensive applications.
