Hypertable

Hypertable is a high performance, open source, scalable database modeled after Google's Bigtable. Hypertable is unique among open source Bigtable implementations in that it is implemented in C++ as opposed to a higher level language like Java or Erlang. In this presentation, Doug Judd, the CEO of Hypertable, Inc., will describe in detail, a performance study recently published comparing the performance of Hypertable with that of HBase, a Java-based Bigtable implementation. The results show that Hypertable delivers up to 10X the performance of HBase.
