Riak SmartMachine

Developed in partnership with Basho Technologies and inspired by Dynamo, Riak SmartMachines are scalable, fault-tolerant, open source key/value database servers intended to be the primary data storage mechanism in production applications. Riak SmartMachines scale elastically and horizontally, allowing you grow your cluster from 3 nodes to 10 nodes to 100 nodes and beyond -- while your cluster is running. In addition to more storage space with added nodes, Riak SmartMachines deliver a linear increase in processing power. Riak SmartMachines are:

• Built to operate in highly distributed environments, such as the cloud.
• Master-less - no single point of failure.
• Automatic data replication and read/write across all live nodes.
• Highly fault-tolerant due to its distributed nature
• Highly available for use in read and write-intensive web applications.
• Instantly scalable by adding a node to a cluster - with no downtime.
• Incredibly stable and trusted by some of the world’s largest companies
• Built-in, robust MapReduce engine for deep, complex queries
• Delivered with full-featured client libraries for, Java, PHP, Python, Erlang, and Ruby
