Summary

I joined Fusion-io in 2010 after gaining experience from my data center infrastructure background, where I recognized the importance of memory and flash storage. At that time, companies like Facebook were eager to deploy all-solid-state data centers to meet their needs. However, these solutions remained expensive and only accessible to a portion of the population. The SingleStore database has rethought the traditional database concept with a focus on memory, distributed systems, and scalability, making it suitable for today's interconnected world. With its ability to handle massive workloads, deliver analytics in real-time, and preserve SQL goodness, SingleStore offers incredible market opportunity and has already generated new revenue and driven down solution costs for its customers.
