Strong Sustainability Benefits

Aerospike is known for reducing servers and carbon footprint by 80%. A recent IEEE paper cited the importance of software on hardware affecting energy consumption. Additionally, AWS Graviton2–based Amazon EC2 instances offer better performance for greater energy efficiency, which helps customers meet their sustainability targets.

No Performance Tradeoff 

“AWS Graviton2–based instances provide secure, resizable compute in the cloud and enhanced price-performance for workloads in Amazon EC2,” said Andrew Affolter, senior engineering leader at Snap Inc. “With Aerospike running on AWS Graviton2, we anticipate even better compute and price-performance benefits.”

“Since its inception, the Aerospike Real-time Data Platform was designed to fully leverage the latest innovations in compute, memory and networking technologies,” said Subbu Iyer, CEO of Aerospike. “The combination of Aerospike 6 running on the innovations delivered by AWS Graviton2 once again gives Aerospike a significant price-performance advantage over any other solution in the market today.”

“Powered by AWS Graviton2–based C6gn instances, Aerospike customers will experience significantly better price-performance and efficiency benefits than on other architectures,” said Raj Pai, vice president of Amazon EC2 Product Management, Amazon Web Services. “Aerospike 6 on AWS Graviton2 makes it ideal for compute-intensive applications such as gaming, distributed analytics, ad serving, financial services, telecommunications, IoT, and more.”

Aerospike 6 running on AWS Graviton2–powered Amazon EC2 instances joins the recently announced Aerospike Cloud and the successful Aerospike Cloud Managed Service to allow customers to innovate further in the cloud.

The Achieve Exceptional Price-Performance for Real-time Workloads with Aerospike and AWS Graviton2 benchmark will be showcased at re: Invent, November 28 – December 2 in Las Vegas. Visitors can experience demonstrations of Aerospike 6 running on AWS and Aerospike Cloud. You can learn more here.
