Enterprise Priorities Remain Focused on Delivering Insights from Big Data
December 24, 2012
A major player in anything and everything involving enterprise data has released 2.0 of their NoSQL database. What does it look like and what does this mean for other contenders in this arena? ZDNet tells us in the recent posting, “Oracle Updates NoSQL, big data appliance and connectors.”
Oracle NoSQL Database 2.0 uses Oracle’s Berkeley DB storage engine and is more seamlessly integrated with Oracle’s Database and Hadoop environments than earlier iterations. Better performance and decreased latency (measuring in at below 5ms) are other selling points for 2.0. Additionally, the Big Data Connectors release sees the Oracle SQL Connector for Hadoop supported within the Data Integrator Application Adapter.
The most interesting area of the article lies in the positioning from Oracle about this new version of their database.
Oracle development chief Vaishnavi Sashikanth said in a statement:
Oracle NoSQL Database 2.0 provides developers with that ‘last-mile’ infrastructure to enable crucial real-time interaction between an organisation’s applications and its customers. It provides a key mechanism for enterprises to maximise the value of big data.
An important takeaway from this article is that big data is on the minds of every software vendor. Since the priority for businesses is to ensure information access in real-time to employees working hard to deliver insights from big data, that emphasis makes complete sense. Solutions like PolySpot‘s Information At Work were born to deliver these insights.
