MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.—August 30, 2018—Couchbase Inc., creator of the world’s first Engagement Database, today announced the launch of the first NoSQL autonomous operator for Kubernetes. Now available, the Couchbase Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes is an application-specific controller that vastly reduces complexity, human error and manual management of database services, resulting in streamlined operations, more efficient consumption of resources and cloud portability. 

Couchbase Autonomous Operator extends the Kubernetes API to create, configure and manage instances of complex stateful applications on behalf of a Kubernetes user. It builds upon the basic Kubernetes resource and controller concepts, but also includes domain or application-specific knowledge to automate common tasks better managed by computers. Whether an enterprise is using a single-provider, hybrid cloud or cross-cloud strategy, Couchbase Autonomous Operator is deployment agnostic, thereby enabling multicloud deployment and migration seamlessly.  

As Kubernetes continues to gain momentum and IT organizations increasingly adopt cloud computing and embrace newer technologies like microservices, mobile, IoT and more, Couchbase identified the following key roadblocks that hinder progress:

• High operational costs: Manually deploying and managing hundreds of database instances across multiple geographies increases cost, effort and complexity.
• Vendor lock-in: A lack of standardization to ensure data can be moved freely and safely between cloud providers has made it difficult to switch providers quickly or work with multiple providers.
• Delayed time to market: Customers with applications using microservice architectures have difficulties managing and scaling database clusters in siloed systems, extending development times and making it harder to support their applications.

The Couchbase Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes was built to address and overcome these challenges for the enterprise by providing:

• Automated operations: Beta users report reductions of up to 95 percent of the operational complexity, which lowers operational costs.
• Cloud-agnostic deployment and management: Offers enterprise customers with multicloud strategies the ability to deploy, manage and move their applications to and from any cloud, at any time.
• Unmatched agility and flexibility: Allows customers who have adopted microservice architectures to run their database next to their application, reducing the DevOps cycle and decreasing time to market.

“As a software engineer, one of the things I am least excited about is managing shell scripts. The Couchbase Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes alleviates that pain and completely automates management of Couchbase on our Kubernetes cluster. It’s a game changer.”
–David Downey, Software Developer, BD Global Health

“The Couchbase Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes is a marvelous addition to the Couchbase ecosystem, reducing our IT administration overhead by at least 80 percent. It sets the bar for all other clustered databases in any cloud environment.”
–Brant Burnett, Systems Architect, CenterEdge

“Couchbase is collaborating with Red Hat to bring the benefits of the Operator Framework to applications like the Couchbase Data Platform. With Couchbase’s distributed NoSQL database on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, customers have even more options to provide modern application portability across hybrid and multicloud environments. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is a strategic deployment platform for the Couchbase Autonomous Operator, which is now available in the Red Hat Container Catalog registry.”
–Jack Baratta, Senior Director, Global ISVs and Alliances

“The Couchbase Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes sets a new standard for Kubernetes in production deployments. For the first time, a fully distributed, scalable, enterprise-class database that can be orchestrated by Kubernetes is generally available to enterprises wishing to automate the deployment, monitoring, scaling and managing of database applications both on-premises and in public cloud environments seamlessly. By automating these traditionally manually intensive services, enterprises can significantly compress their ‘time to market.’”
–Ravi Mayuram, SVP of Engineering and CTO, Couchbase

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — August 29, 2018 — Couchbase, Inc., creator of the world’s first Engagement Database, announced today that it has been selected as the winner of the Database Trends and Applications (DBTA) Readers’ Choice award in the Best In-Memory Solution category. Couchbase was also selected as a finalist in the Best NoSQL Database and Best Database (Overall) categories.
 
“Couchbase is honored to be recognized by DBTA readers in this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards,” said Peter Finter, CMO at Couchbase. “We are truly grateful to our community of customers, developers and partners at the massively interactive enterprises that we support, as well as our employees and the editorial team at DBTA.”
 
A recent Couchbase survey found that 88 percent of organizations have had a digital project fail, suffer a reduction in scope, or experience significant delays, because today’s data requirements — from rapidly changing schemas to performance at scale — cannot be supported by legacy databases. That is why leading interactive enterprises bolster their competitive advantage by using a next gen database to enable agile application development and create exceptional digital experiences. The Couchbase Data Platform is a distributed, multicloud and mobile NoSQL document database, based on a memory-first, async everywhere architecture. Today, Couchbase powers customer and employee engagement for the world’s most innovative companies, including the top 3 global distribution systems, 6 of the top 10 U.S. ecommerce companies, 3 of the top 10 international airlines, and eight of the top 25 Forbes Global 2000 companies.
 
“Today, more than ever, businesses are looking for ways to manage and leverage their information resources to create new opportunities and deliver a real competitive advantage,” said Tom Hogan, Group Publisher of Database Trends and Applications magazine. “There is an expanding array of solutions for storing, protecting, integrating, enhancing, and analyzing data. The DBTA Readers’ Choice Awards play a key role in spreading information about products that are providing a unique value to customers.”
 
DBTA created the Readers’ Choice Awards to help add perspective and acknowledge the products and services that have been deemed by our readers to provide unique value. Vendors are nominated in 28 different categories, and winners are chosen through reader voting. 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif – Aug 14, 2018 – Organizations risk wasting millions of dollars in the next 12 months as they rush into flawed digital projects, research from Couchbase has found. In the survey of 450 heads of digital transformation in enterprises across the US, UK, France and Germany, 52 percent said a fixation on digital transformation had raised the risk of rushing into ill-thought-out projects, meaning that much of their average planned spend of $28 million in the next 12 months could be wasted. This risk of rushing in is being driven by mounting pressure to transform: 85 percent of respondents said disruption in their industry has accelerated over the past 12 months, and 86 percent believe businesses will have to adapt to providing digital services in the next 12 months, or accept they will become less relevant. However, businesses that can adapt to this pressure can show significant success: 6 percent have completely revolutionized digital experience to the extent it’s now unique in their industry.
 
Other findings include:

• 95 percent of respondents believe that digital transformation can seem an insurmountable task – meaning projects are more likely to be unsuccessful
• Organizations spent an average of $24 million on digital transformation projects in the last 12 months
• 35 percent say the primary driver for digital transformation is advances made by competitors, 23 percent changes in regulation, and 19 percent pressure from customers – meaning digital transformation is mostly being driven by reactive needs, instead of proactive ideas
• Businesses have limited time to get this right: 64 percent believe those that can’t keep up with digital innovations will go out of business or be absorbed by a competitor in fewer than four years
• There are personal consequences of failed digital projects: 83 percent of respondents said they would face being fired if a project fails
• Despite these pressures, organizations are not standing still: 25 percent have either completely revolutionized (6 percent) or transformed (19 percent) digital experience in the last year, compared to 15 percent in 2017

“We are entering the era of the massively interactive enterprise where every part of an organization, from sales and marketing, to HR, finance and logistics, is built around engaging digital experiences,” said Matt Cain, CEO of Couchbase. “The revolutionary potential of digital transformation will have a hugely positive impact for those organizations that can do it well. However, the pressure to transform at speed means organizations have a higher risk of taking a rushed, reactive approach, driven by the fear that the organization will lose relevance, that results in substandard experiences and wasted investments. Transformation is not a destination. It’s a continuous process that, at its best, is proactive, driven by the needs of the business as a whole, and underpinned by the right data infrastructure. By adopting this approach, and not letting the pressure faze them, organizations can join the ranks of the leading 25 percent.”
 
Digital transformation has been mostly driven by the IT function: 76 percent of organizations rank it in the top three business functions driving their digital transformation in the last five years. Business executives also have a substantial say, with 47 percent placing them in the top three. However, other functions are far less represented, suggesting that transformation is still seen as the domain of IT instead of something that should concern the entire organization.
 
Digital transformation is also still being held back by technology. Eighty-eight percent of organizations have had a digital project fail, reduce in scope, or suffer significant delays because their legacy database couldn’t support it. Indeed, this reliance on legacy databases and competing priorities has raised a number of issues, including:
 

• 87 percent of organizations find they have to scale back ambitions for new applications and services so that they will work with IoT or mobile devices – since these devices cannot match the data processing power of larger servers, and cannot guarantee a consistent connection
• Only 29 percent of organizations say they can use data in real-time, limiting the end-user experience and the types of services they can offer
• 74 percent of organizations rely so heavily on their legacy databases that they cannot adopt newer database technology as quickly as they would like
• 83 percent of respondents are under increased pressure to secure their organizations’ database – laying bare the threats organizations face and taking attention away from transforming new services

 
“Data is at the heart of the massively interactive enterprise,” continued Matt Cain. “Customer and employee-facing, and even machine-to-machine, applications need to access the right data, in real-time, even when there is limited access to a central server. This doesn’t necessarily mean organizations should simply throw out their legacy technology and start over. However, they do need to ensure that they have the right data architecture for their needs. One that can handle sudden changes in direction, that can perform at scale, and that is secure. With the right technology at hand, organizations will be ready to weather the growing pressure and take part in a real digital revolution.”

The report is based on an online survey conducted in June and July 2018 by Vanson Bourne, an independent market research organization, of 450 heads of digital transformation, such as CIOs, CDOs, and CTOs, in organizations with 1,000 employees or more in the U.S., U.K., France, and Germany.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 10, 2018 — Couchbase, Inc., creator of the world’s first Engagement Database, today announced the latest version of the Couchbase Data Platform with Couchbase Server 5.5. The latest release combines the power of SQL and the flexibility of JSON to offer simplified application management and operational agility. With new features including ANSI joins, Eventing, and Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes, enterprises can easily develop and deploy applications across multicloud environments to create exceptional experiences for customers and employees.

With the Couchbase Data Platform, organizations can seamlessly transition workloads from relational databases and accelerate deployment of applications in multicloud environments. The platform’s built-in enterprise security features also offer field-level encryption to protect sensitive user data, in addition to the flexibility to meet new data regulations such as GDPR. The Couchbase Data Platform includes recently-launched Mobile 2.0, which extends business critical applications to the edge securely and easily, regardless of Internet connectivity. 
 

Some of the new features and associated benefits in Couchbase Server 5.5 include:

Unmatched agility and flexibility 

• ANSI joins in N1QL: The Couchbase Data Platform is the only platform that extends SQL to support JSON data natively via N1QL queries. N1QL now has support for ANSI joins, making it easier to migrate applications from relational databases to Couchbase. Developers are also more productive as they can leverage their SQL knowledge to develop applications on Couchbase.
• Eventing: Eventing is a highly available, performant and scalable service that enables user-defined business logic to be triggered in real-time on the server when application interactions create changes in data. Eventing makes it easy to develop, deploy, debug and maintain data-driven business logic from a centralized platform. 

Unparalleled performance and responsive application design

• Index partitioning: Index partitioning enables users to index a large number of documents and horizontally scale out an index as needed. The system will transparently partition the index across a number of index nodes using hash partitioning, increasing the performance and data capacity of the cluster. 
• Aggregate optimization: Since the introduction of N1QL, Couchbase has improved the query performance by orders of magnitude, and with aggregate optimization, the query engine leverages the indexes to perform aggregate calculations to improve the performance of queries by another order of magnitude. 

The easiest platform to manage

• Autonomous Operator: The Couchbase Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes enables cloud portability and automates operational best practices for deploying and managing the Couchbase Data Platform.
• Security compliance: Couchbase continues to extend its support for security to enable enterprises to meet increasing security compliance requirements such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). X.509 certificate authentication is extended beyond key-value data access to query and search services for all SDKs.

Quotes: 
“In data-driven organizations, developers need to create information rich applications with speed and agility to meet fast-changing data requirements.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 10, 2018 — Couchbase, Inc., creator of the world’s first Engagement Database, today announced the launch of Couchbase Managed Cloud. Offered in partnership with Rackspace, the solution is a fully-managed database service that allows IT teams to solve cloud and database infrastructure challenges and reallocate resources towards business initiatives that drive growth. With Couchbase Managed Cloud, Couchbase combines the world’s most powerful NoSQL technology with the capabilities and expertise of Rackspace, which provides true transformation as a service across applications, data, security, and infrastructure, to deliver a single solution for a unified customer experience.

Enterprises today are experiencing an explosion of data, and maintaining and managing that data in the cloud is no small feat. Couchbase Managed Cloud is designed to eliminate the tedious, time-consuming processes of managing database infrastructure in the cloud, enabling IT teams to focus on driving innovation. With Rackspace, Couchbase Managed Cloud delivers the database infrastructure that is backed by the leader in managed cloud services, along with its application services expertise and results-obsessed customer service known as Fanatical Support®.

Available this Spring, Couchbase Managed Cloud can be deployed directly within an organization’s public cloud environment alongside their other mission-critical applications–versus within a vendor’s public cloud environment–which will lead to reduced latency, increased performance and enhanced security. In addition, Couchbase Managed Cloud will deliver a unified data platform across multicloud architectures using Couchbase’s cross datacenter replication technology. 

Key benefits include:

• Free up resources to drive innovation and accelerate time to market: Outsourcing the administration of database infrastructure frees up resources to drive business initiatives. 
• Mitigate risks: Improve reliability with proactive maintenance, optimizations, and on-demand scaling of resources as needed; eliminate downtime with a single point of contact and 24/7/365 support model. 
• Reduce costs: Reduce DevOps/DBA staffing while still getting access to cloud and DB experts. Scale out when needed and avoid idle infrastructure.

Quotes:
“Very commonly, software vendors offer managed services within their own cloud environments.  Couchbase Managed Cloud is different in that it is deployed alongside an organization’s mission-critical applications in a public cloud. This approach provides businesses with greater control over how they use their data and where it resides; a key element as sensitivities around data security and privacy are heightened, especially with the looming GDPR deadline.”
–Carl Olofson, Research Vice President, Data Management, IDC

“Rackspace is excited to partner with Couchbase to bring Engagement Database technology to enterprises looking to streamline operations and focus on driving exceptional experiences for customers and employees. By combining Couchbase’s powerful NoSQL technology with Rackspace’s managed cloud and application services expertise, we’re able to deliver significantly greater value to customers.”
–Brannon Lacey, Vice President Product, Enterprise Applications Services, Rackspace

“We developed Couchbase Managed Cloud to alleviate the time and cost burdens associated with cloud database infrastructure, and instead help organizations focus on developing the applications and experiences core to their business. With this offering, organizations can outsource the administration of their database infrastructure so they can free up resources and drive key business initiatives.”
–Scott Anderson, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Business Operations, Couchbase
