Superior database performance, scalability, availability and reliability
Today’s IoT systems can generate enormous volumes of data every sub-second, across potentially thousands of sensors. This can pose significant challenges to conventional SQL and NoSQL databases. Toshiba’s GridDB SE is engineered to alleviate those concerns by providing high performance, scalability, availability and reliability.
GridDB SE offers a hybrid combination of in-memory and disk architecture that delivers average throughput up to five times higher and latency up to four times lower than that of competing NoSQL databases. Toshiba’s database solution can scale out linearly using commodity hardware while maintaining excellent performance. Plus, it provides superior data availability and reliability by eliminating single points of failure through hybrid cluster management. Toshiba’s GridDB SE also integrates easily into most development processes via a key-value.
Leveraging Toshiba’s deep IoT and pioneering in-memory expertise
According to Gartner, overall IoT spending is projected to reach over $3 billion globally in 2020. Founded on Toshiba’s extensive IoT and in-memory expertise, the GridDB SE is uniquely positioned to help developers, systems integrators and Toshiba ecosystem partners secure a significant portion of that growth.
Because of the huge IoT opportunities available—now and in the future, Toshiba has open-sourced GridDB and is actively seeking partners for IoT co-development projects.
Availability
GridDB Standard Edition (SE) is available on AWS Marketplace today.
