Over the last couple of months, Monitis, through a series of blog posts, has provided guidance on picking the right NoSQL database storage tool that meets your company’s needs. In our previous blogs, we offered a comprehensive overview of why NoSQL technology is important and how it compares with Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMSs).
In our posts, we have also reviewed various brands — again, in the hopes that this information will help choosing NoSQL DBs such as Apache Cassandra, MongoDB, CouchDB, Redis, Riak, HBase and others…easier.
In this, our last post on the subject, let’s take a look at two more popular brands: Apache’s CouchDB and Membase.
Gosh; there are so many NoSQL database storage tools out there. It’s almost as bad as brands of sport drinks or water. Have you noticed that some mega-supermarkets have whole aisles dedicated to what we drink!
As an IT system administrator or manager, it’s sometimes very hard to compare various NoSQL tools. It involves considering your special computing needs, matching them to what is out there, aligning what’s right for your organization and then make the right decision!
That’s why Monitis, the first hosted all-in-one network and systems performance monitoring service for sysadmins, is publishing a series of blogs that are meant to offer a comprehensive guide to NoSQL technology and brands. We want to help you make the right choice that fits the particular needs of your company.
Why should we care, you may ask yourself? Increasingly, our clients, who depend on our ability to monitor servers and networks and a host of other key metrics 24/7 from the cloud, want our advice, too, on what kind of scalable and robust database technology to use. So, we’re obliging!
Here, in a series of blogs, we’ll present research on existing popular NoSQL data storage tools that are generally intended to store unprecedented large amounts of data, offer flexible and horizontal scalability and provide blazing-fast processing queries. We’ll also get down to the nitty-gritty and compare several well-known NoSQL DBs…such as Cassandra, MongoDB, CouchDB, Redis, Riak, HBase and others.
In this first post, let’s discuss the reason why NoSQL technology is important.
