NewSQL databases rise anew -- MemSQL, Spanner among contenders

The #NewSQL #database was almost hidden when @Hadoop and @NoSQL arose. Now, as more big data teams move toward production uses, #MemSQL, #CloudSpanner and similar products may get a second look.

It was something of a sleeper amid a rowdy group of new data management technologies, but #NewSQL is new again. NewSQL #databases put special emphasis on SQL transactions, with atomicity, consistency and other processing attributes. At the same time, they distribute data workloads in a new style pioneered by @Google, @Yahoo and others. As attention was poured on Hadoop and NoSQL in the early years of this decade, NewSQL database alternatives plugged away quietly. Fast forward to today, and the raucous NoSQL and Hadoop crew has taken on more and more SQL traits. For this and other reasons, NewSQL may be getting a second look in some quarters. As with the more ballyhooed Hadoop and NoSQL alternatives, global data distribution, real-time analytics and machine learning are the key drivers. Among the NewSQL players -- each with a different technology twist -- are @Clustrix Inc., @NuoDB Inc., @SpliceMachine and @VoltDB Inc. Each has been busy enhancing its NewSQL database. Clustrix recently increased its support for cluster resiliency. NuoDB improved its query optimizer. VoltDB expanded a program offering access to its enterprise version for development and testing. And @SpliceMachine launched its database platform on the @AmazonWebServices Marketplace.

Cisco UCS and MemSQL: Real-Time Data Warehouse for the Enterprise

Real-time analytics on live data and the ability to analyze data at scale, are key for any digital organization. Acting on insights in the moment helps deliver contextual user experiences, identify new sources of revenue, and prevent costly expenditures. To become a responsive data-driven business, organizations must address current data latency challenges. These challenges are commonly found across three general areas: Three Data Latency Challenges and Solutions Slow data loading: Loading data, moving past batch processing, and receiving analytics responses in real time remains out of reach for too many businesses. A real-time data warehouse reduces extract, transform, and load (ETL), combining transactional and analytical workloads into a single system. Lengthy query execution: Operational insights must be readily available for in-the-moment decisions. A data warehouse that delivers a fast query response can deliver insights whenever the application or users require it, ultimately providing a differentiated service or identifying opportunities. Low concurrency: Digital business assumes a large-scale use of data across an entire business or customer base. As more users engage and interact with data, the response time for those interactions must maintain a consistent experience. A scalable data warehouse will help ensure that data and user growth will not negatively affect the operational system. Real-Time Data Warehouse for the Enterprise #MemSQL on #Cisco #UCS Integrated Infrastructure for #Big Data and Analytics is built to address these challenges. MemSQL provides a scalable, real-time data warehouse platform for high-performance applications that require fast, accurate, secure, and always available data. MemSQL scales linearly to millions of events per second while analyzing petabytes of data for insights. MemSQL also enables fast ingestion and concurrent analytics needed for sensor systems, recommendation systems, and use cases that require instant, actionable insights
