When you account for failover and the way Aerospike self heals when you yank the power plug out of any rack in the data center, remaining performance at a million read ops per second per node with no traffic coordinator, so that you are always maxed out at the switch or other hardware (unless you are map reducing aggregates) I mean nothing else comes close to self balanced real time dynamic analytics with secure data. All the other platforms require you to hybridize to get all your attributes right in the CAP triangle. With no buffering or queues, no cache for data, ghosting is no longer a category. So many benefits on top of being the best performer. We just need to admit it. Aerospike is deliciously ridiculous!
