MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – March 28, 2014 – Couchbase, the fastest-growing provider of enterprise-class NoSQL databases and technologies, today announced the opening of five new offices in Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Bangalore and Tel Aviv.

Enterprise and developer adoption of NoSQL technology is growing internationally. A recent independent report by technology analyst firm TechNavio forecasts the global NoSQL market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 53 percent over the period of 2013 to 2018. Couchbase’s international expansion will support the roaring demand for high-performing and scalable database solutions for enterprises. The new locations in Beijing, Tokyo and Bangalore mark the company’s first offices in Asia, while Paris and Tel Aviv represent continued development in the EMEA market.

“Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Bangalore and Tel Aviv are among the top, global business cities, home to thousands of enterprises and high-tech firms where we’ve seen a spike in the demand for NoSQL technology,” said Bob Wiederhold, president and CEO of Couchbase. “As these companies grow, they are looking for technology that can support their expanding business, and they’re turning to Couchbase because we offer the most scalable, enterprise-grade NoSQL database technology on the market – one that is capable of taking companies from grassroots NoSQL adoption to strategic implementation of business-critical applications.”

Couchbase has a growing international customer base, which now includes companies like Flipkart, Digital Generation, Inc., Playtika, Ybrant Digital and Viber. The offices announcement comes shortly after one of Couchbase’s newest Tel Aviv-based customers, Viber, announced its adoption of Couchbase NoSQL to support the scalability demands of its international messaging and VoIP platform, which has hundreds of millions of users.

Couchbase is focused on growing and supporting its developer communities internationally. This year the company is hosting a series of conferences around the world. On April 2, 2014, it will host Couchbase Live [London]. Earlier this year, Couchbase presented Couchbase Live [TLV] in Tel Aviv in February and Couchbase Live [Tokyo] in January.

In 2013, Couchbase experienced dramatic expansion internationally with new partnerships and large-enterprise customers throughout the Middle East, Asia and EMEA markets. The company received a $25 million round of funding in August 2013 to support its international expansion strategy. The opening of new offices and international hiring support Couchbase’s plans. In January 2014, Couchbase announced the hiring of Eric Gold, former Aerospike director, as sales director for Asia. Gold will also support Couchbase’s growth in Israel and throughout the Middle East.

Couchbase currently has a variety of open positions in the new offices, including for software and technical support engineers. A full list of these opportunities can be found at www.couchbase.com/careers#jobviteframe

Mountain View, Calif. – February 27, 2014 – Couchbase, the fastest-growing provider of enterprise-class NoSQL databases and technologies, is pleased to announce that software industry veteran Doug Laird has joined the company as its Chief Marketing Officer. Laird will lead global marketing, responsible for extending Couchbase’s early success and establishing the company as the market leader for enterprise-grade NoSQL.

Wikibon forecasts the NoSQL market to reach $3.5 billion in annual revenue over the next five years. Global companies are driving this explosive market growth as they look for database technology that can support the scalability, reliability and high-performance requirements of highly interactive, mission-critical applications. These companies, including Amadeus, AOL, Orbitz, PayPal, Salesforce.com and Viber, continuously select Couchbase Server to support their enterprise-grade NoSQL deployments.

“Couchbase Server is the only NoSQL database fit to provide the scalability and performance that mission-critical enterprise applications require,” said Bob Wiederhold, CEO of Couchbase. “This product advantage gives us a huge market opportunity and we are delighted to have Doug join our management team at this pivotal time. His experience establishing market leadership for top-tier startups will be critical to our success during this hyper-growth period.”

Laird is experienced at building leadership positions for high-growth companies in emerging categories. Prior to Couchbase Laird was at Wildfire, where he served as CMO for its rapidly growing social media marketing business through the company’s acquisition by Google for a reported $400 million. Prior to that, Laird served as Vice President of Global Marketing at QlikTech, where he created a new Business Intelligence category, termed Business Discovery. Gartner endorsed the category and recognized QlikTech as the innovative leader. The new positioning was instrumental in helping drive a three-year increase in annual revenue from $80 million to $321 million and one of the best performing technology IPOs of the 2010. Laird also led corporate marketing at Siebel contributing to the high growth period when sales grew from $410 million to 1.8 billion.

“The NoSQL market is evolving into two distinct segments – small, grassroots developer-led projects, and business-critical applications that require massive scale,” said Laird. “Market success is no longer defined by the number of downloads and LinkedIn skill counts, but by the ability to support mission critical applications. This presents a huge opportunity within the large enterprise segment where Couchbase is uniquely positioned to win. Couchbase’s unrivaled scalability, reliability and performance advantages are driving adoption from global enterprises, such as messaging giant Viber, who is using Couchbase Server to replace NoSQL implementations from other vendors that did not meet its performance requirements.”

London, UK – February 24, 2014 – Willis Group, a global insurance broker, has selected Couchbase Server Enterprise Edition to improve the performance of its Risk Analytics systems.

With 400 offices in 120 countries, Willis introduced Couchbase, a leading provider of NoSQL database technologies, as the de facto NoSQL database solution for a number of its business critical and customer facing applications. These include GIS applications for analysing the risks associated with specific geographic locations and high performance datamarts for analytics. Couchbase Server is also increasing speed, reliability and performance for Willis Group’s core Risk Analytics platform.

The global analytics team tested a number of NoSQL technologies, but found Couchbase Server Enterprise Edition was the clear leader given its:

• High availability through replication and auto-failover
• Massive scalability which can handle millions of data items
• Built in cache layer to deliver excellent caching performance
• Flexible data model for ease of storing unstructured data
• Easy integration with the existing Microsoft development environment

“Couchbase is used as a fundamental part of Willis Group’s risk analytic systems. The in-memory computing it enables has provided Willis Group’s risk analytics system with the high-performance, reliability and scalability to tackle big data challenges,” said Nigel Davis, Managing Director, Head of Platforms and Delivery, Global Analytics at Willis Group.

As well as its risk projects, the team uses Couchbase to support the Willis Research Network, which includes more than 50 science institutes. It is a unique engagement between the private and public sector that integrates science, insurance and resilience at a scale never before envisaged.

Davis added “Beyond performance, reliability is a critical factor. Any downtime has an adverse effect on day-to-day operations because these are business critical applications”.

David Maitland, General Manager, EMEA, at Couchbase said: “Businesses like the Willis that are moving mission critical applications to a NoSQL deployment to have a solution that is flexible and can easily scale. Additionally, each new step forward must be reliable beyond question as even small outages can have a drastic impact on the business. The team at Willis has created an impressive eco-system of data applications leveraging Couchbase Server, that makes it an innovative leader in a very competitive sector.”

Mountain View, CA – February 11, 2014 – Couchbase, the fastest-growing provider of enterprise class NoSQL databases and technologies, has released Couchbase Server 2.5 Enterprise Edition. The release, available today, includes capabilities for enterprise-grade performance, including new features such as Rack Awareness for high availability and cross data center (XDCR) data encryption for secure data center replication.

“Enterprises requiring the highest scalability and availability are consistently choosing Couchbase over traditional databases and other NoSQL vendors,” said Rahim Yaseen, Senior Vice President, Couchbase. “With the Rack Awareness and data encryption capabilities included in Couchbase Server 2.5 Enterprise Edition, we continue to establish Couchbase as the clear choice for global enterprises requiring high availability, reliability and security.”

High Availability with Rack Awareness

To ensure enterprise-class availability and reliability, master data and replicated data should be stored on different server racks. Couchbase Server 2.5 Enterprise Edition’s newly introduced Rack Awareness provides a simple, flexible and effective solution for data replication that is easy to scale and administer. With Couchbase Rack Awareness, the user can create logical groupings of Couchbase Server nodes and replica copies of the data are automatically distributed across server nodes located on different racks. This intelligent data replication ensures that data is secure despite disruptions such as power outages, or switch or rack failure.

Rack Awareness is especially needed for applications running on public clouds, such as Amazon EC2, where customers have no control over infrastructure availability and uptime. With Couchbase Server Enterprise Edition 2.5, customers running applications on a public cloud can leverage Rack Awareness to ensure that replica data is stored on separate zones to maintain 24/7 application uptime.

Using Couchbase Server Enterprise Edition 2.5 Rack Awareness, you can now create logical server groups based on your physical server topology for significantly higher reliability in case of rack or zone failures.

Secure Cross Data Center Replication

One of the most compelling features delivered in Couchbase Server 2.0 was the addition of Cross Data Center Replication (XDCR). XDCR delivers high performance by storing data closer to a users’ physical location, and increases application reliability by operating in multiple data centers. 

Couchbase Server Enterprise Edition 2.5 builds on the existing XDCR functionality with advanced, secure data encryption. In the absence of a virtual private network (VPN), data sent between networks is typically sent over a wide area network (WAN). Data moving across a WAN is vulnerable unless it is encrypted. With Couchbase Server Enterprise Edition 2.5, data can be transmitted using SSL encryption between data centers. This new layer of security helps enterprises achieve global scale in a secure manner.

Couchbase for the Enterprise

More and more global companies are finding that only Couchbase provides the high availability, scalability and performance they need to move from grassroots NoSQL projects, to large mission-critical, deployments. For example, due to scalability issues with their initial NoSQL deployment, a large messaging company recently replaced MongoDB with Couchbase (see related video here). With its newest release, Couchbase Server Enterprise Edition 2.5, Couchbase is providing more functionality for large enterprises to confidently make the transition to NoSQL.

With 400 percent growth and customers including AOL, PayPal, Viber, Network Rail, Concur and Orbitz, Couchbase is quickly becoming the leader for enterprise-class NoSQL databases, because Couchbase scales easier, faster and further, delivering high-performance, 24/7/365 availability and reduced cost of administration.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – February 4, 2014 – Viber, one of the fastest–growing messaging and VoIP services in the world and driver of billions of messages every month, today announced it has chosen Couchbase, the most scalable and fastest-growing NoSQL technology provider.

Viber Replaces MongoDB with Couchbase for High Scalability

Viber’s always-on technology enables hundreds of millions of users to connect in 32 languages worldwide in the three years since its initial launch. To support its high volume and influx of data, Viber has integrated Couchbase as its scalable database solution. Viber previously deployed MongoDB’s NoSQL database technology.

“We found that MongoDB’s NoSQL technology could not adequately support the company’s growing data management needs,” said Amir Ish-Shalom, systems architect at Viber. “After investigating multiple database technologies such as Cassandra and Amazon’s DynamoDB, including more combinations of database plus caching layers, we deployed Couchbase. With Couchbase, we’re now able to handle hundreds of thousands of ops-per-second – an order of magnitude more than our previous solution.”

“Couchbase has an easy and transparent sharding and scaling model, something the previous solution lacked. We were impressed with Couchbase’s powerful and easy to administer sharding for load balancing and scaling,” added Ish-Shalom. “Couchbase was able to provide several times more throughput using less than half the number of nodes. Plus, Couchbase has a unique and innovative consolidation of cache and database tiers, something that made Couchbase’s architecture very appealing.”

“Over the last year we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of Internet companies and enterprises deploying NoSQL technology under large-scale mission-critical applications, said Couchbase CEO Bob Wiederhold.  “These applications require the highest level of scalability, performance, and reliability. This is exactly where Couchbase has been successful with its enterprise customers like PayPal, Amadeus, Orbitz, and now Viber. While large enterprises like Viber adopted MongoDB’s technology as a first-generation NoSQL approach to managing their data, we are steadily seeing those enterprises transition to Couchbase to provide them with the superior solution needed to scale their data and their businesses.”

Amir Ish-Shalom, systems architect at Viber, will deliver a keynote presentation on the company’s transition to Couchbase NoSQL technology at Couchbase [TLV], an international NoSQL user conference in Tel Aviv, Israel on Tuesday, February 4, 2014.
