Aerospike - Experts & Thought Leaders

CIBC Innovation Banking has provided a $30 million growth financing for Aerospike, a real-time database engineered for speed, scale and cost efficiency, powering mission-critical applications across diverse use cases, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). This funding will further expand the company’s go-to-market strategy and product innovation.  Aerospike operates at the intersection of the world’s growing data needs and the new opportunities presented by AI and ML. The company’s massively scalable, millisecond-latency database handles vector search, key-value, and graph applications while still running on 80% less infrastructure than legacy or point solutions. Demand for real-time data platform Aerospike said that second quarter of 2024 recurring revenue increased by 51% on a year-over-year basis Aerospike recently announced that second quarter of 2024 recurring revenue increased by 51% on a year-over-year basis, fuelled by the widespread demand for affordable, scalable, and accurate real-time AI. Aerospike enables organisations to manage customer recommendation engines, monetisation, and fraud detection for global organisations.   Subbu Iyer, CEO of Aerospike, said: "This financing is in addition to the $109M investment earlier this year from Sumeru Equity Partners to meet the demand for Aerospike’s real-time data platform, especially for AI. We’re excited to partner with CIBC as we enter our next phase of growth, driving further innovation and investment in our products." AI revolution Youssef Kabbani, Executive Director at CIBC Innovation Banking, said: "AI/ML requires more real-time data than ever before and Aerospike is greatly positioned to meet this demand by providing an infinitely scalable database with high performance and low latency." Youssef Kabbani adds, "We are thrilled to be working with the Aerospike team as they continue to emerge as a main player in the AI revolution."

Aerospike, Inc. announced that the BSV Blockchain trials of Aerospike, which underpins its groundbreaking Teranode blockchain transaction platform, has achieved sustained throughput of over three million transactions per second (TPS), enabling Teranode to support over one million global BSV Blockchain transactions per second (100 billion a day). These results far outstrip the performance of traditional core banking infrastructure and payment systems. BitCoin (BTC), the first and most common implementation of Bitcoin, supports just seven transactions a second (605,000 a day). Scale of digital asset transactions BSV Blockchain is an enactment of the famous Bitcoin whitepaper written by Satoshi Nakamoto The BSV Blockchain is an implementation of the famous Bitcoin whitepaper written by Satoshi Nakamoto. BSV Blockchain is designed to overcome the limitations of earlier implementations, such as Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, around scalability, transaction speed, and realising a truly distributed network. This is achieved, in part, by having an unlimited block size, but a larger block requires a new infrastructure approach to achieve high performance and a low cost per transaction. Aerospike meets these challenges and enables Teranode and BSV Blockchain to support an unlimited scale of digital asset transactions across a host of new categories. These include protecting intellectual property rights, enabling direct financial transactions between two parties with no intermediary, and Web3, which, when implemented, will allow millions of microtransactions to take place daily, supporting new granular payment models, such as pay as they use data. Aerospike enables 100 billion Bitcoin transactions a day The BSV Association, which works to advance business on the BSV blockchain, explored multiple DBMS architectures to underpin Teranode. Traditional RDBMS solutions and other NoSQL technologies were cost prohibitive, however, requiring a disproportionately high investment in expensive RAM and other resources across the global network that push up costs and impact scalability. Conversely, Aerospike’s NoSQL architecture makes Teranode exceptionally efficient, maintains performance as Teranode scales, enables a cost per transaction that undercuts traditional payment providers, and is financially sustainable to support micro-transactions. Aerospike’s NoSQL architecture makes Teranode very efficient, keeps version as Teranode scales Siggi Óskarsson, Teranode Director at BSV Association, said: “Aerospike has enabled us to achieve our goal of creating a platform that supports boundless transactions far beyond the financial, with unmatched performance. The Aerospike database enables low and sustainable implementation costs and will scale with ease as the BSV Blockchain adds support for large-scale enterprise and governmental blockchain applications.” Faster and more reliable mining Aerospike’s performance and strong consistency gains also enable those mining for new coins. In cryptomining, cost, speed and scale are all equally vital to the individual miner. Solutions prior to Teranode could incur substantial latency on each interaction with the Blockchain, but the efficiency and distributed nature of Aerospike means that Teranode users experience <10 ms latency and much higher throughput on their existing infrastructure. Aerospike’s native consistency features also dramatically reduce the risks of inconsistencies, which would take a miner offline and result in loss of revenue when, all the while, they are paying for expensive infrastructure. Behrad Babaee, Principal Solutions Architect at Aerospike, said: “The potential for unboundedly scalable core systems could revolutionise financial infrastructure modernisation. This implementation of Aerospike clearly demonstrates its ability to outperform traditional RDBMS banking systems, which are often unscalable and inefficient on every metric. Aerospike, as part of Teranode, is transformative for the BSV Association, enabling it to easily scale, with no need for the complexity and risks associated with dedicated solutions to manage scaling.”
