businesses with the capability to perform faster, smarter, and more efficiently than ever. In order to
harness that competitive edge, companies need a robust foundation to manage their data and run
mission-critical applications.

THE EVOLUTION IN DATABASE MANAGEMENT
To cope with the tremendous
growth of new apps and
unstructured data (especially
in social media, gaming, and
mobile), enterprises are
changing their approach to
database management.
of all digital information
today is unstructured data90%Source: IDC
THE EVOLUTION IN DATABASE MANAGEMENT
Companies that generate vast amounts of data are now migrating to NoSQL databases as
the preferred alternative to traditional relational databases, which lack the flexibility to handle
massive amounts of unstructured data.

NoSQL Database
WHITEPAGES – A DATABASE CASE STUDY
Whitepages is the leading source for contact information in North America, providing access
to 250 million personal identities for over 55 million unique visitors a month.
For their storage needs, Whitepages relied on relational databases. As the company grew and
launched new applications (like Caller ID), they were faced with the challenge of scaling their
database infrastructure while ensuring availability.
55 M
250 M
WHITEPAGES’ KEY EVALUATION CRITERIA
They needed a scalable solution that would provide:
• Operational simplicity
• Ease of administration while
scaling up or down
• Database robustness if a
node crashed
• Allow for reading and writing
data in the event of a
hardware or network outage
• Capacity to expand without
losing any uptime
…AND THE WINNER IS BASHO RIAK KV!
Whitepages evaluated a number of database solutions including Hbase, Postgres, Cassandra,
and Basho Riak KV to meet growing data requirements.
Riak KV was the clear winner for:
High availability
Scalability
Fault-tolerance
Operational simplicity
THE PERFECT SOLUTION
Riak KV was extremely easy to set up,
configure, and scale up. We ran benchmarks,
which all met or exceeded our expectations. It
delivered on its promise of resiliency against
the loss of a node, so it was a perfect solution
for us. Since deployment, Riak has been one
of the most trouble-free solutions we’ve
operated at Whitepages. It just works!
With Riak KV, Whitepages was able to increase stability for its Caller ID app,
achieve scaling goals at minimal cost, and reduce operational complexity.
