Conference Present:\ \ \ The Cio's Guide to NoSQL \ New Technologies for Data Management and Analysis\ A Whitepaper by Dan McCreary and William McKnight\ \ NoSQL (for Not-Only SQL) is a new and fast-growing category of \ data management technologies designed to handle the requirements \ of high-performance, web-scalable systems and big data analysis. \ Organizations like Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and Yahoo are \ notable examples of innovators which have used NoSQL solutions to \ gain greater scale and performance, and at a fraction of the cost \ of traditional relational database systems.\ \ The organizational challenge for many traditional SQL-only shops \ is how to embrace the rapidly developing NoSQL movement and \ nurture pilot projects that compete with startup organizations. \ This whitepaper will help C-Level executives to understand these \ new concepts and start solving business problems in innovative \ ways. NoSQL will challenge IT management, technical staff, \ analysts, educators and product developers in many different\ dimensions. But those who grasp the opportunity early will find \ numerous ways in which they can provide agile, high-performance \ solutions to business challenges that simply cannot be addressed \ in rows and tables. These systems include document stores, key \ value stores, native XML databases, graphical databases, column \ stores, object stores, in-memory caches and multi-dimensional \ OLAP cubes.\ \ Links:\ 1. http://www.dataversity.net\ 2. http://www.nosqlnow.com\ \ Request Your Copy of the CIO's Guide to NoSQL! \ \ http://documents.dataversity.net/whitepapers/the-cios-guide-to-nosql.html\ \ \ Topics Covered\ \ * Definitions of NoSQL\ * Business drivers for NoSQL\ * Insights and innovations behind the NoSQL movement\ * Limitations of traditional SQL solutions\ * New NoSQL paradigms\ * New technology choices now available to the enterprise-class \ systems\ * Ways in which NoSQL technology is different\ * How NoSQL manages to solve problems better\ * What problems can you solve with NoSQL that you cannot solve \ with SQL?\ * Key-Value Stores\ * Document Stores\ * Graph Stores\ * Columnar databases\ * Hadoop in the enterprise\ * Tradeoff analysis of various NoSQL alternatives\ * New challenges introduced by horizontal scaling and distributed\ computing systems\ * Deployment options for NoSQL database solutions\ * Pricing options for cloud computing and MapReduce deployment\ * Suggested approaches for analysis of NoSQL options\ * Guidelines for starting a NoSQL pilot project in your organization\ \ About The Sponsors\ \ [3]Dataversity is an online education portal designed to educate\ and promote those in the field of Data Management.
