Introduce Basho Riak: an open source distributed database that allows for the highest availability, quickly enabled scalability, multi data center replication and operational simplicity. Built and insprired by Amazon's Dynamo project, this fully developed and tested database is the most advanced distributed database on the market with a key/value, object based, available and partition tolerant system.

Why go NoSQL?
The business landscape has evolved into demanding new and larger applications, larger amounts of data – cross platform and cross applications, larger volumes and a larger amount of variety then ever. Based on decade old technology and coding, relational databases such as SAP, Microsoft, MYSQL, IBM and Oracle no longer fit the bill. Today, every single relational database struggles with today's volume, velocity and variety of data today, cloud operations and horizontal scaling.

A 5 year open source project, with a third of the Fortune 50, an established and respected presence in the open-source community, 24/7 support by actual developers, and RiakCS (Cloud Storage) allowing for a seamless integration to your public or private cloud gives light to the most advanced distributed database on the market.
