+Riak is an open source, distributed database. Riak is architected for:
+
+* Low-Latency
+Riak is designed to store data and serve requests predictably and quickly, even
+during peak times.
+
+* Availability
+Riak replicates and retrieves data intelligently, making it available for read
+and write operations even in failure conditions.
+
+* Fault-Tolerance
+Riak is fault-tolerant so you can lose access to nodes due to network partition
+or hardware failure and never lose data.
+
+* Operational Simplicity
+Riak allows you to add machines to the cluster easily, without a large
+operational burden.
