This latest release of TokuDB comes with a number of additional improvements that have given the company confidence in pitching the database as being optimized for SSDs. These updates include refinement of the locking and latching mechanisms, better parallelism on reads, and performance improvements in point and range queries across both primary and secondary indexes, according to Lawrence Schwartz, TokuDB vice president of marketing.

TokuDB can be licensed for US$2,500 per 100GB, per year. It is available for up to 50GB for free evaluation and proof of concept projects.
