Company Summary
NorthScale, Inc., the elastic data management software company, provides a new class of data management technology that scales out, enabling customers to dramatically lower data management costs while simultaneously improving the scalability and performance of their web applications.
Based on the widely used memcached open source technology, the NorthScale Server Family of elastic data management software complements relational databases, and is designed to enable customers to start where they are, with existing RDBMS technology and expertise, and incrementally evolve toward a scale-out data architecture for their web applications. It includes NorthScale Memcached Server, the leading distribution of memcached, created and supported by leaders of the memcached open source project; and NorthScale Membase Server, a NoSQL database fully compatible with memcached APIs and client libraries, created by the founders of the membase open source project.
Today, NorthScale is used by hundreds of companies around the globe, large and small. It is in production behind some of the world’s busiest web applications, powering the popular FarmVille and Café World applications at Zynga; and providing a shared data management platform for NHN, Korea’s largest web application operator with over 150 million unique users. Equally at home serving small web applications, NorthScale operates the memcached service behind the Heroku Cloud Platform, where more than a thousand applications benefit from its secure multi-tenant capabilities.
Founded in 2009 by leaders of the memcached open source project and headquartered in Mountain View, Calif., NorthScale is a privately held company funded by Accel Partners, Mayfield Fund, and North Bridge Venture Partners.
