NorthScale Customers
NorthScale serves more than a thousand customers worldwide with our elastic data management software. Whether it’s a small-scale implementation of NorthScale Memcached Server, or a mission-critical deployment of NorthScale Membase Server running across clusters with hundreds of machines, customers rely on NorthScale solutions to deliver scalability, performance and cost saving for their web applications and cloud computing environments.
"Zynga’s FarmVille, Café World, Mafia Wars and other games have over 235 million active users per month. We rely on technology from NorthScale to make that possible. As long-time users and members of the memcached community, we have tremendous respect for the team at NorthScale. Our internal development work to extend memcached clearly matched with their vision and we’ve worked closely with the team through the development of NorthScale Membase Server. We expect to improve the performance and availability of our games while reducing hardware and administration costs as we continue to transition data from relational databases to NorthScale Membase technology."
Cadir Lee, Chief Technology Officer
"Operating Korea's number one search portal, Naver.com; the number one children’s portal, Jr.naver.com; and the number one gaming portal, Hangame.com; NHN collectively serves nearly 70 million unique users. NorthScale Memcached Server will form the foundation of a shared data management infrastructure, supporting application development and production roll-out across divisions and business units. NorthScale’s multi-tenancy capabilities are particularly important in our environment. NHN is proud to have worked with NorthScale in the Open Source memcached community on both defining and implementing the facilities needed to support the expanding needs of our caching services."
Chang Song, Chief Performance Architect
"We’ve enjoyed working very closely with NorthScale over the last several months, and have been blown away by the quality of the team, their software, and the interactions we’ve had with them as we’ve brought to market our memcached add-on, based on NorthScale Memcached Server. With over 50,000 applications running on our cloud service, it is imperative that our infrastructure is rock solid, efficient and easily managed. NorthScale has delivered on all fronts."
Oren Teich, VP Product
"Using Heroku’s Memcached Add-On from NorthScale has enabled us to optimize the latency of our page rendering code, enabling us to build an advanced web app that is almost as responsive as an ordinary desktop app—something that would be very hard, if not impossible, to do without memcached."
Niklas Holmgren, CEO and Founder
“mig33 has built a successful global mobile business from being one of the most downloaded mobile phone applications in the world. With more than 40 million users, supporting the growing user base is our first priority and it has become clear that our existing relational database technology can’t handle this alone. So we’re looking for an alternative that allows us to achieve our scalability objectives while avoiding heavy sharding and other data management gymnastics. We’re excited about working with NorthScale Membase Server’s beta offering as the solution for dynamic scalability and high performance, whilst being very easy to use and manage.”
David McClure, Director of Engineering
“In our business, the most crucial success factor is the ability to decide which ad to serve and how much to pay for it, all in real-time with minimal latency – in fact, there’s a direct correlation between the speed of our decision system and our revenue. NorthScale Membase Server is a great fit for our needs, enabling us to create an elastic data layer that’s persistent, dynamically scalable and highly available, while giving us the sustained high performance our applications – and users – require.”
