Intel® Optane™ SSDs and Aerospike Database: a New Level of Fast in Operational Stores for Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing

Aerospike's hybrid memory operational database was designed to take advantage of non-volatile memory (NVM) from the ground up, offering fast and parallel key-value access. The financial services industry requires high write rates for operational databases, making Intel® Optane™ SSDs uniquely suited for such applications. Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) is a focus area where ultra-fast non-relational analytical processing systems are headed. Aerospike's end-to-end test with a retail brokerage customer showed that Intel® Optane™ performs about 3x faster than NAND drives at the required latency level, offering real-world responsiveness and write capabilities.
