Couchbase Doubles Business in 2014 with Oracle and MongoDB ReplacementsCouchbase, Inc., provider of the most complete NoSQL database, today announced record growth in 2014, doubling sales while achieving major milestones in customer wins around the world, delivering innovative new products, and globally expanding distribution through direct sales and new partners. Couchbase concluded the year in Q4 with new customer momentum, securing its largest number of multi-million dollar deals to-date and expanding relationships with some of its largest accounts. "2014 was a decisive year for Couchbase and the distributed database market as many of the Fortune 500 deployed NoSQL to support mission-critical applications," said Couchbase CEO Bob Wiederhold. "As we head into 2015, we are hearing more CIOs articulate visions for broad enterprise re-platforming. These plans will further accelerate Couchbase Server adoption and we anticipate rapid growth fueled by superior performance and support for the broadest set of enterprise class use cases for big data, cloud, mobile, and Internet of Things applications."

Driven by multi-million $$ deals + replacing #Oracle (News - Alert) & #MongoDB bit.ly/cb2xbiz14 2014 Highlights Replacing Oracle In 2014, much of Couchbase's growth was fueled by large corporations moving various mission-critical applications off Oracle RDBMS. Many cloud and Internet applications built on Oracle simply cannot scale to meet today's big data demands, and Oracle's NoSQL solution of storing JSON documents in a relational table does not solve customer needs. The Nielsen Company is one of these companies. Nielsen's "Answers on Demand" application ingests billions of data points from point-of-sales, household panels, and loyalty cards to provide customers like P&G, Walmart, and Tesco with near real-time product sales trends. The ability to sift through datasets quickly and effectively is critical. Arvind Jade, architecture lead at Nielsen, explains to Baseline Magazine: "By moving the metadata to Couchbase, we were able to dramatically improve the efficiency of the system and speed data delivery. We are able to query against the index and target specific documents, something we were not able to do previously. We are able to react in a more agile and flexible way," Jade explains. Moreover, the NoSQL approach has reduced the time required to manage and update systems. "We can use IT staff to add greater value to the business."

As those projects have grown, and the applications become mission-critical, MongoDB has failed to deliver the performance at scale required by enterprise class applications. That has created a big opportunity for Couchbase. In 2014, Couchbase saw a spike in MongoDB replacements as more and more companies, like Viber, came up against MongoDB limitations. In the highly competitive Over-the-Top Messaging space, Viber is first in registered users with almost 1 billion users. Amir Ish-Shalom, system architect at Viber, explained why they replaced MongoDB with Couchbase Server: "There were problems; first and foremost, the performance of MongoDB only gave us tens of thousands of operations per second, whereas we needed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of operations per second. It had problems with very large datasets; we have datasets that are in the billions of records and we found the performance wasn't good when using these. This brought us to Couchbase."
