TokutekReview of Thursday’s Cloud Events in Boston Everyone is well aware by now of the EC2 outage that Amazon had back in April and it would have surprised no one if that high profile had put a damper on cloud adoption. But judging what we heard yesterday at Boston’s two cloud events (MassTLC’s Cloud Computing […]
Review of the O’Reilly Strata Making Data Work Conference (reprinted from my guest blog for the Cloud Council of 7) Monica Rogati of LinkedIn told a story of the early days at the firm, when the reporting system consisted of a single server under someone’s desk. One day, someone needed an Ethernet cable and […]
The TokuDB engine is truly impressive and I cannot contain my anticipation on what might be the next great breakthrough for my application.

Managing terabytes of data now is as easy as managing 50 gigabytes was at the beginning.
I measured an 80x improvement on our crawler’s insertion rate.
One of President John Kennedy’s most memorable phrases is “ask not what your country can do for you – ask what can you do for your country”. I got to thinking about this over lunch with a fellow colleague in the big data space. After comparing named customers for a while, we realized we had […]
According to a recent MIT Sloan Management Review study, top performing organizations use analytics 5 times more than lower performers. That’s pretty astounding. And while we all know about the ocean/lake/waves/(your favorite water analogy) of Big Data we struggle with everyday, information is not knowledge. So how can we get insight from data? Recent articles […]
The summer’s end is rapidly approaching — in the next two weeks or so, most people will be settling back into work. Time to change your mindset, re-evaluate your skills and see if you are ready to go back from the picnic table to the database table. With this in mind, let’s see how […]
When I interviewed at Tokutek, I met a team of distinguished academics and engineers who could calmly and thoughtfully wax eloquent about the finer points of B-tree and Fractal Tree™ indexing, drive I/Os, and database engines. Soon after, I discovered that several of my colleagues have a second passion — they practice Mixed Martial […]
We were happy to see a lot of folks from Japan on Twitter this weekend having a discussion about MySQL and Tokutek. While we always endeavor to explain ourselves as simply as possible, hearing what users and peers have to say and ask in their native language is very helpful. Here is a sampling of […]
Unless you are Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk), or one of his Hollywood buddies, you don’t need to read any further. Allow me to explain… Over the weekend, we launched our new website. This type of announcement used to be interesting in the high-tech world. I heard Kara Swisher of the WSJ’s All things D speak at […]
I’ve been experimenting with TokuDB recently, and I’m fairly impressed with what I see. It’s nippy even with some ‘ugly’ queries.
Now that I’ve used it on production systems, I can say that HCAD in TokuDB is freakin’ awesome. Who needs maintenance windows anyway?
The company has developed an index engine for MySQL based on Fractal Tree technology that allows MySQL performance to scale from gigabytes to terabytes.
The growth of data, especially in real-time Web 2.0 environments, can be a burden or an opportunity for new products and new revenue. MySQL users should consider TokuDB to increase agility, speed and scalability.

Yesterday, Tokutek was invited (thanks to David Hughson, Vice-Consul of the British Consulate) to the Massachusetts State House for a forum on international business, hosted by Governor Deval Patrick. I felt pretty good about our Commonwealth – apparently we are the only state whose bond rating has improved since 2007. And, even though big firms […]
In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin stated “In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.” In the 21st century this is still valid, but there is also an additional truism, especially in IT – the certainty of digital information growth. Even with a challenging economy, data overload continues – electronic books are outselling […]
