Memcached Gets NoSQL in Membase

“The open source memcached application is often used in
conjunction with databases to help cache and accelerate data. A new
approach from memcached sponsor NorthScale is taking a slightly
different tack by integrating memcached directly with its new open
source Membase server.

“The Membase server is an open source NoSQL database project
that is backed by NorthScale as well as apps developer Zynga. With
open source Membase, the aim is to provide a new type of
low-latency, scalable database system for dynamic Web
applications.

“Membase was originally begun as a commercial effort by
NorthScale, and is now being open sourced in an effort to further
adoption. NorthScale is one of the leading backers of the memcached
open source project and recently raised $10 million in venture
funding.”
