New York – Oct. 7, 2020: Infosys Public Services, a US-based subsidiary of Infosys (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, today unveiled the Infosys Health Insights Platform (IHIP) – an automated data science platform for public health agencies developed in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Couchbase, and Knowi. The new platform is part of the Infosys Cobalt’s growing portfolio of 14,000 cloud assets. Built on AWS, this new platform will help agencies scale their analytics capabilities and turn massive amounts of data into valuable insights and actionable recommendations.

IHIP enables public health agencies to aggregate, manage and analyze data in disparate formats and from multiple sources using advanced data science and artificial intelligence (AI). This includes unstructured data like sensor data, caseworker notes, and social media posts, most of which are not readily usable by existing platforms. IHIP provides a single platform that enables agencies to harness data to generate predictive insights and actionable intelligence. The insights will lead to more robust decision- and policy-making, particularly when managing outbreaks like COVID-19, addressing the drug [and opioid] abuse crises, studying the impact of social determinants of health, and getting a clear view of the overall health (clinical, behavioral and mental) of populations.

IHIP will also spur collaboration, allowing multiple groups of public health workers – including analysts, data scientists, researchers, epidemiologists, caseworkers, and policymakers – to work together to deliver proactive and specific interventions to the constituents they serve. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the platform can help stakeholders explore various public health concerns, including identifying high-risk individuals, forecasting hotspots of infection spread, and recommending insights on implementing or easing restrictions to manage the crisis better.

“COVID-19 has shown us the need for crucial data analytics capabilities and tools for government agencies. It has also exposed the various issues with the tools available to public health agencies around the world. IHIP will help agencies quickly build next-generation analytics and data science capabilities to turn their data into actions,” said Eric Paternoster, President, and CEO at Infosys Public Services. “We will leverage the Infosys Cobalt community and its vast data management, analytics, and artificial intelligence capabilities to help federal, state, and local officials discover data-driven insights to guide public health decisions that are tailored to their constituents’ needs.”

“By building on its basic capabilities and adding a data governance framework, DevOps pipeline, a FHIR data model and API library, Infosys will enable the efficient and fast exchange of patient health care records,” said Adelaide O’Brien, research director, IDC Government Insights. “These capabilities coupled with its “self-driving” advanced analytics and AI platform are available at an opportune time for providing a 360 view of the impact of COVID-19 on spread direction, contact exposure patterns, high risk communities/hot zones, and will allow agencies to predict virus spread, issue alerts for prescriptive care interventions, and improve population health management by preventing further spread.”

The Infosys Public Services team developed and optimized the IHIP platform in collaboration with AWS, Couchbase, and Knowi, three leaders in cloud, data management, and advanced data science space. The platform leverages many AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, and Amazon Redshift. AWS worked with Infosys to optimize the platform to be serverless. The companies bring together their combined strength in data analytics and decades of experience working with government health agencies. IHIP was recently selected by the American Council for Technology – Industry Advisory Council as a finalist for its 2020 Igniting Innovation Awards,

“We are delighted that the Infosys Health Insights Platform is built on AWS. Collaborating with Infosys on solution architecture design and performance helped drive the demands that evolving data and AI technologies place on speed, security, and processing power,” said Sandy Carter, Vice President, Partner and Programs, at Amazon Web Services, Inc. “With AWS as a core component, the Infosys Health Insights Platform will enable organizations to meet these demands and better address population health needs. The platform also leverages AWS’s pre-built storage, data orchestration, analytics, and security services, which can reduce the infrastructure procurement and development time for agencies by as much as half, enabling them to focus valuable time and resources on serving their citizens.”

“As the most advanced NoSQL database, Couchbase provides a modern data management architecture for the Infosys Health Insights Platform,” said Matt McDonough, SVP of Business Development and Strategy at Couchbase. “From rapid aggregation of different types of data to multi-dimensional scaling and intuitive search capabilities, our database enables IHIP to use the growing volume of unstructured and semi-structured data for lightning fast performance, real time insights, and persistence.”

“Turning data into meaningful visualizations is important for agencies to make better decisions,” said Ryan Levy, COO at Knowi. “Through Knowi’s unified analytics component, agencies can use the Infosys Health Insights Platform to see the information the way they want, where they want, and when they want it. And by leveraging Knowi’s Search-Based analytics, agencies can simply ask questions of their data and receive actionable data and visualizations right away”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — September 1, 2020 –  Couchbase, the creator of the enterprise-class multicloud to edge NoSQL database, has announced that Couchbase Cloud, its fully managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), has delivered a 100x performance improvement and a cost reduction of 50% for Facet Digital when compared to its previous DBaaS solution, CosmosDB. Based in Kirkland, Washington, Facet Digital is a full-service product strategy, design, and development agency specializing in delivering database applications and solutions that run at the edge.

Facet Digital’s systems provide fast performance that helps customers quickly scale-out applications. Before Couchbase Cloud, its environment had become increasingly difficult to manage and deliver the agility required to meet customer expectations. Couchbase Cloud’s built-in Elasticsearch connectors was a key deciding factor, helping reduce a client’s migration time from one hour to three minutes in one example. The significant saving of DevOps time delivers an immediate cost-benefit that can be passed on to Facet Digital’s customers.

With the organization rolling out solutions globally, Facet Digital also needed to ensure the environment could meet the security and legislative requirements of any territory. “Couchbase Cloud provides a managed service inside your own AWS iteration that addresses the need to have complete control over sensitive data in highly regulated industries such as financial services,” said Scott W. Bradley, Principal Engineer at Facet Digital. “There is no equal to Couchbase Cloud. It has the best pricing and performance we have seen from a DBaaS offering.”

Couchbase Cloud has also enabled Facet Digital to drastically improve the productivity surrounding setting up and optimizing a new cluster. “With Couchbase Cloud, we have consolidated our infrastructure from three different products into one simplified platform,” said Jeremy Groh, Principal Engineer at Facet Digital. “It used to take me 3½ days to get our legacy hosted solution set up, but now I can spin up a new cluster in 20 minutes or less.” The reduced set up time represents 4,000% in time savings. And because Couchbase Cloud is optimized out of the box, Facet Digital has improved productivity by 8,000%, ultimately passing savings to customers so they can allocate more resources toward their own innovative programming initiatives.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.–August 13, 2020— Couchbase, the creator of the enterprise-class, multicloud to edge NoSQL database, today announced Couchbase Server has been voted “Best Database Overall” in the 2020 Readers’ Choice Awards. In addition, Couchbase also won the “Best In-Memory Database” category for the third consecutive year and made a strong showing as a finalist in the categories of “Best NoSQL Database” for Couchbase Server, “Best IoT Solution” for Couchbase Mobile, and “Best Cloud Database” for Couchbase Cloud. Building on Couchbase’s industry leading product and pace of innovation, the recognition coincides with the general availability of Couchbase Server 6.6, available for download today. 

“After adding multi-document distributed ACID transaction support in Couchbase 6.5, our release-defining features in version 6.6 raise the bar in the areas of cloud integration, index management, and analytics,” said Ravi Mayuram, SVP of Engineering and CTO of Couchbase. “The enhanced analytics provide insights into data stored externally in S3 as well data in multiple Couchbase operational databases while the new Flex Indexes exponentially simplifies index management for developers. And with the ability to backup directly to S3, Couchbase 6.6, overall, greatly improves developer and operational agility.” 

Strengthening its support for hybrid transactional and analytic processing (HTAP) workloads, Couchbase 6.6 has extended its analytic offering by enabling the construction of dedicated analytic clusters that use “Remote Links” to consolidate operational data from multiple Couchbase clusters for larger, more cost-effective analysis. The analytics service also adds the ability to access and analyze “External Data” in standard file formats such as JSON, .CSV and .TSV from AWS S3. The combination of these features dramatically extends how a Couchbase cluster dedicated to analytics can collect, process and return real-time data to its peer clusters hosting operational applications such as profile and activity-based recommendation systems like instant, point-of-sale, mobile coupon delivery. 

Couchbase 6.6 introduces two clever and helpful indexing capabilities for application developers who would rather not need to think about indexes. First, it has promoted its “Index Advisor” functionality from its developer preview inclusion in Couchbase 6.5. Index Advisor analyzes N1QL (“Nickel”) queries and returns advice on what indexes to use or build to optimally expedite results. This feature is also available as a free service at index-advisor.couchbase.com for any N1QL query.   

Flex Indexes are an additional innovation, and a database first. Flex Indexes allow N1QL queries to use indexes from Full Text Search to simplify complex query selections as often found in ad-hoc and forms-based queries. Like Index Advisor, Flex Indexes remove the need for developers to contemplate what or how to index their database. 

Additional features in version 6.6 include: 1) geospatial searches to support polygon areas, 2) multiple timer and timer cancellation capabilities for the Eventing service, 3) backup capabilities that enable backups to AWS S3 and S3-compatible object stores, 4) enterprise security enhancements that include non-root installation options, and 5) data import capabilities are now included in the Couchbase UI.

Couchbase 6.6 will be a featured product at Couchbase Connect.ONLINE, the annual NoSQL developer conference taking place October 14 – 15, 2020. The event is free and early registration is now open.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 30, 2020 – Couchbase, the creator of the enterprise-class, multicloud to edge NoSQL database, today announced the general availability of Couchbase Cloud, its award-winning, fully-managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS). Couchbase Cloud is initially available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with support for Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform available by year-end.

The quickly-evolving economy is accelerating digital transformation in almost every organization, bringing equal parts opportunity and cost control pressure to IT. Couchbase Cloud helps organizations capitalize on both goals through:

• Versatility and performance of Couchbase Server, combined with emerging best practice of in-virtual private cloud (VPC) deployment on AWS, which allow customers to dramatically lower operational costs of traditional deployments without giving up critical control over data and security

• “Single pane of glass” control plane for multicloud management and cross data center replication (XDCR), making it even simpler to manage and deploy multiple clusters across clouds in multiple regions

• Transparent, customer-friendly configuration and licensing that combine with the software’s best-in-class, node-for-node performance to deliver exceptionally low TCO for the generation of applications that serve today’s online-only user communities

The Power and Versatility of Couchbase Server

Couchbase Server is the original multi-purpose NoSQL database that inspired the evolution of competitive, yet still incomplete, platforms such as MongoDB Cloud Platform. Couchbase Server combines the high-performance, memory-first architecture of key-value stores with its SQL-friendly query language, robust developer SDKs, schema-flexible JSON format, all deployed as an elastically scaling, ACID compliant, globally replicating cluster architecture. Couchbase Cloud combines this power and versatility to allow customers to support an array of highly available applications and use cases such as online session caching, user profiles and catalog management for retailers, media content providers and enterprises that must adapt to our new, online-only world.

Emerging best-practice of In-VPC deployment on AWS: Manage your data and AWS Infrastructure 

In-VPC deployment on AWS uses Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to deploy and manage Couchbase software directly within the customers’ cloud accounts, allowing tight performance-matching of the database to its underlying infrastructure, affording customers the same degree of control they enjoyed when running their own data centers, yet at a fraction of the cost. This deployment technique offers customers the ability to utilize and manage:

• AWS best-practice security policies and data sovereignty preferences

• Data movement costs

• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance selection

• Configuration of instances per cluster

• Application of negotiated AWS discounts they have earned to their account, not ours.

Control Couchbase cluster configurations via a single, omniscient control plane
Couchbase Cloud deployments are managed by its Control Plane, which provides DevOps administrators relief in overseeing global deployments by providing:

• Automated oversight of elastic scaling, upgrades, availability, monitoring & alerts across all clusters and all clouds

• Fine-grained control using Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) to performance-match application workloads to its Couchbase services to their underlying AWS instances to optimize resource consumption

Control cloud data movement with Cross Datacenter Replication (XDCR)
Through its XDCR capability, Couchbase Cloud enables global, filtered replication of cluster contents to any cluster location, enabling customers to support data sovereignty requirements and:

• Automatically manage data migration, backup, disaster recovery to & from hybrid clouds, and intra-region for GDPR & other regulations

• Avoid CSP vendor lock-in with the ability to replicate data to Azure & GCP when available

The convergence of raw performance power and transparent policies combine to create the lowest TCO available for NoSQL DBaaS
Couchbase Cloud delivers exceptional value by keeping operational costs elastic and as low as possible. This is due to the convergence of Couchbase policies and the performance of Couchbase Server, which is well documented for node-for-node performance advantages over competitors. Public and private benchmarks have measured Couchbase performing 2 to 20 times faster than competitive offerings on like-for-like infrastructures, and MDS allows deployments to performance-match workloads to their infrastructure nodes. Consequently, Couchbase Cloud enables customers to dramatically lower IaaS resource spending over alternatives.

Couchbase combines performance advantage with highly transparent licensing policies that allow customers to construct their own cost comparisons and make clear choices. Benefits include:

• Hourly or pre-paid credits with no minimum monthly limits

• No margin-stacking by hiding IaaS within subscription

• Customer configures & grows IaaS at the pace of dev/test/production/growth phases

• 20%+ discount of pre-paid credits combined with 75%+ discounts for AWS Reserved Instances (RIs) in private offer billing

• Choice of SLA-levels per cluster with Developer Pro & Enterprise options, saving over 35% with relaxed SLAs

• Avoiding cloud service provider lock-in from using vendor specific applications

Availability

Couchbase Cloud makes its debut on AWS today and is available immediately as a 30-day trial, which runs inside the customer’s AWS account. It is offered in two packages, Developer Pro and Enterprise, which offer differentiated service level guarantees for development and testing needs versus business-critical support for production systems. Support for Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform will be available by year end. For more information visit https://www.couchbase.com/products/capella/

However, for many there are still factors that inhibit that move, from losing control of data sovereignty to being forced into price points and service levels that prevent cost optimization. With Couchbase Cloud, our goal is to break down those barriers, giving customers the same control of data and costs as they would have in their own datacenter, and allowing them to take full advantage of the cloud’s potential for supporting innovation and agile development on their own terms.”
— Scott Anderson, SVP, Product Management & Business Operations, Couchbase

“Couchbase is widely recognized as the most powerful and versatile NoSQL database available in the market today.  As Enterprises accelerate their cloud adoption plans, Couchbase Cloud now offers them the opportunity to transform their businesses at a reduced TCO and without losing control of their data,” said Couchbase President and CEO Matt Cain.  “With more enterprises than ever migrating to both NoSQL databases and cloud deployments, we will continue to expand our cloud-native product portfolio and continue the momentum that has seen more than 500 enterprises, including over 30% of the Fortune 100, rely on the Couchbase NoSQL database.”
— Matt Cain, President and CEO, Couchbase

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 21, 2020 – Couchbase, the creator of the enterprise-class, multicloud to edge NoSQL database, today announced that it has completed a $105 million all-equity Series G round of fundraising.  The latest funding round, led by GPI Capital, also included oversubscribed participation from existing investors Accel, Sorenson Capital, North Bridge Venture Partners, Glynn Capital, Adams Street Partners, and Mayfield.  Proceeds from this financing will be used to expand product development and global go-to-market capabilities.

Today more than 500 enterprises, including over 30% of the Fortune 100, rely on the Couchbase NoSQL database.  In its latest fiscal year, Couchbase delivered over 70% total contract value growth, 50%+ new business growth, and 35%+ growth in average subscription deal size.  The company has nearly $100M in committed annual recurring revenue.

Couchbase is accelerating its trajectory and will use the funding to build further differentiation in already industry leading products and services, while simultaneously expanding its customer facing operations.  The company will complement feature development in its best-in-class enterprise NoSQL server and mobile database platform with Couchbase Cloud™, a fully managed Database-as-a-Service offering.  Now, more than ever, enterprises are accelerating their migration to both NoSQL databases and cloud deployments to increase agility and flexibility while simultaneously reducing costs.

“To be competitive today, enterprises must transform digitally and use technology to get closer to their customers and improve the productivity of their workforces.  To do so, they require a cloud-native database built specifically to support modern web, mobile and IoT applications.  Application developers and enterprise architects rely on Couchbase to enable agile application development on a platform that performs at scale, from the public cloud to the edge, and provides operational simplicity and reliability,” said Couchbase President and CEO Matt Cain. “More and more, the largest companies in the world truly run their businesses on Couchbase, architecting their most business-critical applications on our platform.  This has become even more pronounced today as all companies are closely evaluating their digital strategies while carefully managing their capital allocation plans. Completing this funding round in the current climate is a testament to the importance of modern databases and the relevance of Couchbase as we continue our path to becoming a large, public company.”

“We are excited to partner with Couchbase and view Couchbase Server’s highly performant, distributed architecture as purpose-built to support mission critical use cases at scale,” said Alex Migon, Partner of GPI Capital and new member of the company’s board of directors. “Couchbase has developed a truly enterprise grade product, with leading support for cutting-edge application development and deployment needs.  We are thrilled to contribute to the next stage of the company’s growth.”

Khai Ha, Partner at GPI Capital, added, “Having evaluated how companies innovate across a wide variety of industries and are increasingly turning to modern non-relational databases for their operational needs, we were pleased to see the increasing awareness of and growth acceleration at Couchbase. We look forward to serving as a partner to the company over the coming years.”

The latest funding round occurs at a time when companies across all industries are looking to increase their investment in solutions that enable powerful digital experiences for both employees and customers. This reality is that the database market will undergo a generational market transition over the next many years.  The market is already worth over $100 billion, and  the NoSQL database market in particular is projected to grow at 32% CAGR from 2018-2023, according to 451 Research.

Since January, the company was named to JMP Securities’ Hot 100 List of Best Privately-Held Software Companies, has earned Top Rated 2020 Awards from TrustRadius for Best NoSQL Database, and was named a 2020 Bay Area Best Place to Work.  Couchbase’s growing list of customers include American Express, Cisco, Comcast/Sky, Disney, LinkedIn, Tesco and more.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Apr. 28, 2020 – Couchbase, the creator of the enterprise-class, multicloud to edge NoSQL database, today announced Version 2.0 of the Couchbase Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes (“Autonomous Operator”), the most mature and advanced operator in the industry. As enterprises continue to move to the cloud, DevOps, and microservices architectures, Autonomous Operator Version 2.0 helps to:

• Empower Developers: Unlocks developers’ productivity with self-service access to the database while standardizing development, test, pre-production, and production environment. It also avoids database silos by running, managing, and scaling the Couchbase database next to microservices applications on the same Kubernetes platform. 

• Create Business Agility: Accelerates development of responsive cloud-native applications thanks to the cloud-agnostic application deployment and management platform that enables developers to migrate between clouds freely. Autonomous Operator also allows users to manage growth with on-demand scaling easily.

• Streamline Operations and Costs: Reduces DevOps workload by running Couchbase as an autonomous, fully managed stateful database application; specifically, it reduces operational complexity up to 95% by implementing the operational best practices that most efficiently deploy and manage Couchbase.

As a result, organizations have greater freedom than ever to develop, test, and roll out innovative new services. 

Reducing operational complexity through automation

Autonomous Operator users have already reported a 95 percent reduction in operational complexity, which has resulted in a significant reduction in operational costs. Version 2.0 further streamlines  complex management tasks with a host of new features, including: Automated User & RBAC  Management, Automatic Backup & Restore Management, and Auto-Configuration of Cross Datacenter Replication Management. With these new features, Autonomous Operator continues to help enterprises transition from legacy systems to lower-cost cloud native systems in a dramatically simplified fashion.

Reducing risk through greater control and visibility

As well as reducing operational costs through automation, Version 2.0 gives users control and visibility, including: a Fine-Grained advanced Kubernetes Operator Security Model, Certificate Management using Mutual TLS Support, and Centralized Monitoring and Alerting using Prometheus, the de-facto cloud-native standard. No matter the number of database clusters they deploy, organizations can be confident they have complete oversight and are minimizing risks.

Simplifying deployment by eliminating database silos in a microservices architecture 

The Autonomous Operator enables Couchbase Server to be run next to microservices applications on the same Kubernetes platform. This eliminates infrastructure silos caused by having to run stateful database applications separately to the container-based microservices they support,  which accelerates the time to market of applications by simplifying deployment and reducing the DevOps workload. Version 2.0 adds Simplified Deployment for Couchbase Sync Gateway in Kubernetes alongside Autonomous Operator, enabling further simplification of deploying edge applications and connecting them to the central databases deployed in the cloud.  

Supporting hybrid and multi-cloud by eliminating vendor lock-in

As more businesses adopt a ‘cloud-first’ strategy and race to adopt hybrid or multi-cloud architecture, a major concern is vendor lock-in; finding that options are constrained because the capabilities needed will only operate on certain infrastructures. With Autonomous Operator, enterprises can run a Couchbase cluster on any cloud, including Red Hat OpenShift, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and Microsoft’s Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). 

Supporting quotes

“We are pleased to see another great update of the Couchbase Autonomous Operator in version 2.0. We’ve experienced the beta version and tested many of the features, including LDAP Support and Custom Annotations, which will ease our cloud migration journey. Also in version 2.0, we will be able to automate most of our database tasks, which will help with reducing our physical server footprint. Overall, the newer version of Couchbase Autonomous Operator 2.0 for Kubernetes is a visionary technology that is focused on automating data management with new added features that effectively reduces human effort and time.”
–Girirajan Soundar Rajan, Senior Data Operations Engineer, Staples

“As part of our DevOps team at CenterEdge, I maintain both traditional Couchbase clusters and ones running inside Kubernetes using Couchbase Autonomous Operator, and there is no comparison between the two. Managing a traditional cluster is something I always dread because it consumes a large portion of my time when maintenance is required, whereas the Kubernetes cluster is easy and a joy to maintain. I am looking forward to using the new resource model and trying out the Backup Management features in version 2.0.”
–Tom Crozier, DevOps Engineer, CenterEdge Software

“Containerizing stateful applications like database technology was practically unheard of just two years ago, yet at that point, Couchbase had already launched its first version of an autonomous operator for Kubernetes. The latest version of their operator will make it even easier to set up Couchbase in a hybrid or private cloud environment to behave more like a fully managed cloud database-as-a-service experience, greatly reducing the friction of deployment.”
— Carl Olofson, Research Vice President, IDC

“The great attraction of microservices has always been the ability to deploy hundreds of database clusters – whether for development, test, pre-production or production – in whatever region they are most needed. To support this, database architecture itself needs to transform. The Couchbase Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes is an important step towards offering what the 21st century enterprise needs: a fully autonomous data management platform that greatly reduces the complexity of hundreds of data clusters, and the industry’s first cloud-native data platform.”
— Ravi Mayuram, SVP of Engineering and CTO, Couchbase

Availability

Couchbase Autonomous Operator is Generally Available and offered as part of the Couchbase Enterprise subscription at no additional cost.
