DATABASE TECHNOLOGIES INTO THE ENTERPRISES

DATABASE TECHNOLOGIES INTO THE ENTERPRISES

1. Have we entered a new era of database specialization? After many years of relying on one-does-all databases, in which relational databases, or some variant thereof, were put to use for a variety of jobs—from transaction processing to departmental databases to web serving—enterprises are entering a new phase of specialization

   • Requirements in today’s enterprises: 1.Core business functions and enterprise transaction processing. 2.Basic enterprise functions—payments, billing, tracking receipts, deliverables and payables. 3.Relational database or data warehouse

2. The choice of database environment: Depends on the type of work being performed. Much of the unstructured data that comprises many analytics applications often reside within big data file systems, such as Hadoop. Thus, there’s an important role for NoSQL databases in these environments

3. Work in the Cloud: Here, cloud databases are a good match for developers seeking to work with cloud or service-oriented protocols such as REST and JSON, simple fast database types such as NoSQL document databases and key value stores may be most suitable.

4. Web applications: Web applications generate a lot of session information, and for this purpose, NoSQL key-value databases may be the best bet, since they are simple and fast, operating close to internet time and quickly handling spikes in usage
