bet365 has partnered with NoSQL database specialist Basho Technology to handle its data storage and processing capabilities. The operator will deploy Basho’s RIAK 2.0 system, a cloud based data storage system, designed to gather and serve data requests in a low-latency manner.
Following a review of its data storage capacities, bet365 chose to partner with Basho due to the company’s reliability and stability.

“Our decision to implement Riak was purely strategic. After a stringent evaluation process we decided that Basho’s flexible, scalable database was best-suited to our needs”.
“Given the huge amount of data we process on a daily basis – from customer details to betting odds – it was imperative that we had a platform to support this. We selected Riak, and have not been disappointed with the results”.

A Basho company statement read
“The gaming industry is becoming increasingly complex, with customers no longer satisfied with betting on a limited selection of outcomes. Now, gaming companies must offer more than your traditional betting options.”
“To offer and process these options requires a huge amount of data-crunching, and in addition to the vast number of metrics and numbers processed when taking into account everything from betting odds, bets placed and the final action on each account, such businesses require a lightning-fast database to support the deluge and prevent system crashes.”
