Summary

NorthScale has released the Beta3 version of Membase Server 1.6, introducing several key enhancements that are expected to be part of the final product. The update includes support for Windows, addressing a popular demand by offering 32-bit compatibility and plans for 64-bit support. The multi-tenancy feature allows for the creation of multiple buckets within a single cluster, offering resource control through bucket quotas, which can be adjusted for memory and monitored for disk usage. A new "Cluster Overview" dashboard provides a comprehensive view of crucial cluster statistics, helping users track memory, disk usage, and operations, and identify potential issues through indicators such as "disk fetches per second." These features aim to provide users with greater flexibility and control over their data management needs, with further enhancements anticipated in future updates.
