Couchbase recently released a developer preview of Couchbase Server 2.0, “the company’s high-performance, highly scalable, document-oriented NoSQL database. Couchbase Server 2.0 combines the unmatched elastic data management capabilities of Membase Server with the distributed indexing, querying and mobile synchronization capabilities of Apache CouchDB, the most widely deployed open source document database, to deliver the industry’s most powerful, bullet-proof NoSQL database technology.”
The article continues, “Couchbase Server 2.0 integrates the industry’s most trusted and widely deployed open source data management technologies — CouchDB, Membase, and Memcached — to deliver the industry’s most powerful, reliable NoSQL database. As the new foundational data storage technology for Couchbase 2.0, CouchDB reliably stores data without the corruption risk inherent in competing approaches. It also provides powerful indexing and distributed query capabilities. Membase components contribute powerful cluster management technology, which enables linear scale-out of the data layer from one to 50 to hundreds of nodes as already proven in the world’s largest NoSQL production deployments.”
Couchbase CEO Bob Wiederhold stated, “The demand for NoSQL software continues to rise, and we are thrilled to be at the forefront of this dramatic shift in database technology. Hundreds of customers have deployed Couchbase in production, taking advantage of the ease of use and elastic scalability unique to our solution. Today’s release of Couchbase Server 2.0 provides an even more compelling solution for interactive web and mobile applications, and we’re excited to get it into the hands of our users.”
