Versant Brings Java-Based NoSQL Programming to the Cloud With Amazon EC2-Certified Versant JPA API
June 20 2012 - 2:27PM
Versant Corporation (Nasdaq:VSNT), a worldwide leader in developing
data management software infrastructure for complex,
mission-critical applications,today announced the free, pre-release
version of Versant JPA for the Cloud, a pure, cloud-based Java
client for the Versant Object Database (VOD) certified for use on
the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). With this new Java-based
API on EC2, enterprise development teams can leverage existing
programming skills and the cloud's inherent ability to quickly
scale infrastructure up and down to address the volume, variety,
and velocity demands of complex Big Data.
With industry research firm IDC's estimate that the market for
Big Data technology will grow seven times faster than the overall
information technology and communications business over the next
three years, Big Data is clearly a top priority for businesses of
all kinds. Additionally, London-based research firm Visiongain
predicts that the cloud computing market will continue to see
strong growth, reaching a global industry value of $37.9 billion by
2017. Enterprises who are able to leverage both technologies for
the combined benefits of lower-cost infrastructure and more
valuable, data-driven applications will gain a significant
advantage.
But while adopting cloud infrastructures and applications
through platforms like Amazon's EC2 has become easier than ever,
effectively leveraging new NoSQL technologies to manage Big Data
still presents significant time and financial burdens as
programmers must learn proprietary new coding languages. With
Versant JPA for the Cloud on Amazon EC2, Versant is continuing its
strategy of lowering the barriers frequently presented by NoSQL
adoption, letting organizations leverage the cloud through the use
of accepted Java persistence industry standards to radically
shorten development ramp-up cycles, and avoid overhead when
resources aren't needed.
"Even with simple Big Data models, it takes time to provision
new hardware and software to create the right infrastructure. If
NoSQL database technologies are part of that infrastructure,
developers typically must learn new coding skills for each
solution," said Vishal Bagga, Product Manager, Versant. "With more
complex Big Data models, for example in large network management
systems where new device types are continually added, these
challenges are magnified. Versant JPA for the Cloud clears all
three of these hurdles: developers get cloud's on-demand
accessibility, Java's ease of use and portability, and NoSQL's
performance and scalability."
Versant JPA and the NoSQL Versant Object Database offer the
highest performance solution for enterprises to handle large,
complex data using Java standards-based coding skills. When
compared to other NoSQL and MySQL databases and key/value stores
using the open source PolePosition database benchmarking process,
VOD performed up to 1000 percent faster when simultaneously
processing ten data threads in 60,000 millisecond cycles.
Versant welcomes early adopters to try the free, pre-release
version of Versant JPA for the Cloud to help your programming team
rapidly achieve its complex Big Data challenges. Versant has
certified its Versant JPA product for developers on Amazon EC2, and
will provide an accompanying guide to help developers quickly
install and configure the product.
