Aerospike in the IBM Cloud

Aerospike is a unique database known for its speed and efficient use of CPU and DRAM. It's commonly used in fraud detection, machine learning-based behavioral recommendations, advertising optimization, and other applications requiring terabytes of data. IBM Cloud offers two distinct advantages: it operates on "bare metal cloud" capabilities that can run parallel to standard virtualized machines, and its virtual machines do not undergo behind-the-scenes migrations which often lead to unexpected server restarts in some clouds. Aerospike's performance is enhanced by the IBM Cloud's bare metal capabilities, eliminating the need for a "shadow drive" configuration that can impact latency, performance, and cost. IBM also provides expanded hardware choices, allowing users to choose specific amounts of DRAM and storage options. Consulting with Aerospike's solutions architects can help recommend an optimal cloud spend and lowest possible latency based on the user's use case.
