New collaboration with IBM is designed to accelerate insights for data-intensive apps while reducing latencies
SingleStore, the single database for data-intensive applications, announced the launch of SingleStoreDB with IBM, designed to provide enterprises with a one-stop-shop that can empower them to take advantage of SingleStore’s powerful database technology with IBM.
With acceleration in the cloud and AI adoption, many industry leaders are more data-driven than ever. Instead of juggling complex multi-vendor data environments, customers can now simplify and unify data tiers with SingleStore and IBM.
This subscription-based software, which can be deployed on-premises, in private clouds or in public clouds, is designed to enable customers to scale out as needed; enjoy the familiarity of a relational database while being able to handle complex queries for analytics; and process, query and serve near real-time and historical data using a single, multi-model database. Main customer benefits include reduced legacy database and hardware costs, accelerated time to insight with a single database and the ability to run data-intensive reports quickly.
“As the world becomes more service-centric, response times will matter more for both new and existing applications. We believe we will witness a massive re-platforming of existing applications shortly. Our relationship with IBM can help organisations have a solution designed to accelerate their time-to-value and drive improved performance in a frictionless, hybrid, multi-cloud architecture enabled by SingleStore,” said SingleStore CEO Raj Verma.
Through the new collaboration, IBM will offer the purchasing, licensing and support of the SingleStore Database. In addition, clients can work with IBM Expert Labs or IBM Consulting for global deployment support, including consulting on individual database technologies and overall data management architectures, including a data fabric.
“Businesses need a data strategy designed to support mission-critical applications and fuel advanced analytics and AI,” said Michael Gilfix, Vice President of Product Management for Data & AI, IBM. “The launch of SingleStore Database with IBM is the latest step we’re taking to help clients adopt a data fabric strategy and architecture that can empower them to take advantage of their preferred data management solutions while helping to break down barriers across on-premises, public and private cloud environments, making data management simpler and smarter.”
“Most CIOs (95 per cent according to IDC’s CIO Sentiment study) already have plans to modernise and rationalise their legacy applications. More than one-third (37 per cent) of organisations studied to evaluate their legacy applications on an annual basis. The importance of app modernisation has constantly increased in its priority, from 33 per cent (of studied organisations rated “high” or “top priority”) in 2015 to the latest 83 per cent in 2021.”
SingleStore is part of the IBM Ecosystem, which positions partners of all types – whether they build on, service or resell IBM hybrid cloud and AI technologies and platforms – to help clients manage and modernise workloads.
