Aerospike – engineered for performance at scale
Indexes in DRAM
Data on SSD
• Small amount of DRAM
• For the indexes only
• Avoid cost and server sprawl
• No cache, so no cache misses
• Predictable, low latency performance on NVMe/SSD
• Engineered and optimized for SSDs
• SSDs around 10-15x lower cost than DRAM - $1k per TB
• Much more data per node (up to 100TB)
• Reads done in parallel
• Writes done optimally for SSD to reduce wear-and-tear
(raw I/O)

Significantly Reduce TCO using Aerospike
Consider storing 10TB of data which is ingested and read in real-time – single digit millisecond response
• The only approach (other than using Aerospike) which could achieve this would be a memory first based
solution and the data would also need to be persisted with an underlying database. Taking an in-memory based
approach would look something like this.
• 10TB would be replicated 3x = 30TB of unique data and likely across at least 2 data centres for HA/DR
etc. = 60TB of unique data. 6x the original.
• Server/Node = 500GB RAM = approx. 400GB of usable RAM per node for data storage (not persisted).
• 60TB = 150 nodes (plus the underlying database tech).
• Assuming $12k/server for the hardware = $5m over 3 years - then add the cost of the licenses (assuming
it’s not open source).
• With Aerospike it is very different. For 10TB (60TB across 2 DC’s and 3x replication), Aerospike performs the
same if not better than a memory first architecture, typically with just 4 nodes per data centre = 8 nodes in total
(assuming $25k/server as SSDs are used) = $900k over 3 years - a 6x difference.
