MemSQL Pushes Translytical Database into the Cloud - RTInsights

The service being provided by MemSQL targets the massive wave of applications that are now being deployed in the cloud. MemSQL today unfurled a preview of a cloud service based on a database optimized for translytical applications. The MemSQL Helios service is based on the beta edition of a forthcoming 7.0 release of the MemSQL database, a distributed relational database optimized to run operational analytics applications in memory. The latest version of MemSQL also provides for the first time a "SingleStore" capability that eliminates the need to choose between a row store or a column store for different classes of workloads. That capability should reduce a lot of the performance tradeoffs organizations now make when building and deploying translytical applications, says Peter Guagenti, chief marketing officer for MemSQL.
