Mochi Media Deploys Basho's Riak(TM) Distributed Data Store To Become Charter
Riak Customer.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Basho Technologies, Inc.
(www.basho.com) today announced that Bob Ippolito, CTO and co-founder of Mochi
Media, the largest online games network, has joined the Advisory Board of
Basho Technologies, Inc. Bob is a respected Silicon Valley developer and
entrepreneur, author of the popular MochiKitJavascript framework, the MochiWeb
web server, and long time open source contributor to the Python programming
language. As an Advisory Board member of Basho, Bob will help guide the
continued development of Basho's Riak and its RiakEnterpriseDS to ensure it
meets the rapidly changing data store needs of the application development
community world wide.

Ippolito joined the Advisory Board after deploying Basho's Riak at Mochi Media
to provide reliable storage for Mochi Media's developer API. With this
deployment, Mochi Media becomes a charter paying customer of Basho's Riak, an
Internet-scale distributed data store.

"I am excited to join Basho's Advisory Board," said Bob Ippolito. "Mochi
Media's tools and services require a level of write-availability and scale
that traditional relational databases cannot provide and that we, as a rapidly
growing company, need. Riak is a perfect fit for many of Mochi's large-scale
data storage needs, and I look forward to working with Basho in my new
advisory capacity."

"Bob is a well known and respected force throughout the open source developer
community," said Earl Galleher, Chairman and CEO of Basho Technologies, Inc.
"Having Bob join with us will help ensure the Riak Internet-scale, distributed
data store effectively addresses the shortcomings of relational and
non-relational databases as use profiles of web-enabled enterprise
applications and those on the open Internet dramatically change and grow."

In 2006, Tony Falco, Justin Sheehy and Andy Gross, all former Akamai
Technologies, Inc. employees, came together to design a new kind of data store
that was not subject to the growing fragility and customer expense of current
relational database architectures. They wanted to build a highly reliable,
fully distributed, read and write fault tolerant data store on which
applications could easily be developed. Built using the inherently scalable
erlang programming language from the ground up, the result is Basho's Riak:
the Internet scale, distributed data store. On August 17, 2009, Riak was
released as open source under the Apache 2 license, to positive reviews world
wide (http://riak.basho.com/). Incredible momentum is building as Riak
positions itself to be a market leader providing easy to use, highly scalable
data store solutions for enterprises, web properties, mobile applications and
infrastructure. These solutions are now being offered at a very small
fraction of the cost of current relational database solutions.

To help ensure Basho succeeds in establishing its market leadership position,
Tony, Andy and Justin joined with Earl Galleher, Series A investor and former
Executive Vice President of Sales, Service and Marketing of Akamai
Technologies, Inc. from its inception in late 1998 through mid-2001, and
President of the highly successful Web Site Management Services Division of
Digex from its inception in 1996 through late 1998. At both Digex and Akamai,
Earl and Tony helped establish new market categories: corporate web site
management services (Digex:1996), and Internet content distribution network
services (Akamai:1999). With Basho, this proven team of category builders
look forward to building one of the world's great distributed data store
technology companies.
