NoSQL Database
WHITEPAGES – A DATABASE CASE STUDYWhitepages is the leading source for contact information in North America, providing access to 250 million personal identities for over 55 million unique visitors a month.
For their storage needs, Whitepages relied on relational databases. As the company grew and launched new applications (like Caller ID), they were faced with the challenge of scaling their
database infrastructure while ensuring availability.

WHITEPAGES’ KEY EVALUATION CRITERIAThey needed a scalable solution that would provide:
• Operational simplicity
• Ease of administration while
scaling up or down
• Database robustness if a node
crashed
• Allow for reading and writing
data in the event of a
hardware or network outage
• Capacity to expand without
losing any uptime
…AND THE WINNER IS BASHO RIAK KV!Whitepages evaluated a number of database solutions including Hbase, Postgres, Cassandra, and Basho Riak KV to meet growing data requirements.
Riak KV was the clear winner for: High availability
Scalability
Fault-tolerance
Operational simplicity
THE PERFECT SOLUTION
Riak KV was extremely easy to set up, configure, and scale up. We ran benchmarks, which all met or exceeded our expectations. It delivered on its promise of resiliency against
the loss of a node, so it was a perfect solution for us. Since deployment, Riak has been one
of the most trouble-free solutions we’ve operated at Whitepages. It just works!
With Riak KV, Whitepages was able to increase stability for its Caller ID app, achieve scaling goals at minimal cost, and reduce operational complexity.
