Splice Machine RDBMS Moves To Open Source
Splice Machine offers a database system that combines aspects of traditional relational database technology with the scalability of next-generation NoSQL databases and performance of in-memory systems. The database, which incorporates HBase, Hadoop and Spark technologies, can perform both transactional processing and business analysis tasks.
In June, Splice Machine took the bold step of making the database an open-source technology. Co-founder and CEO Monte Zweben said the goal of going open source is to attract more developers to the Splice Machine platform, who in turn will build more next-generation applications for the database.
Splice Machine will offer an open-source community edition of its software as well as an enterprise edition, with more features and functionality, for a license fee.
