Benchmark Run

Clusters on the Cloud:  Kodiak Data Delivers 5X the Performance at 1/5th the Price of AWS

Results from the open-source Hadoop TestDFSIO benchmark demonstrated the Kodiak Data MemCloud has five times the performance of an equivalent AWS Hadoop cluster at 1/5th the cost.  Interestingly, Kodiak Data’s advantage increased the larger the data file size and the more files that were tested.

For example, a 10GB file written three times resulted in Kodiak Data having a 4.55X performance advantage over AWS.  When a 30GB file was written nine times, the performance advantage exploded to seven times!  Kodiak Data’s secret is our VCI software that optimizes cluster (not just node) level performance.

​The benchmark cluster on AWS with on-demand instances costs over $500 per week.  Kodiak Data’s MemCloud equivalent is $100 per week.  With our pre-configured clusters, you are up and running in minutes.
