Feed: MemSQL Blog. Author: Rick Negrin. There is a trend in industry which says that modern applications need to be built on top of one or more special-purpose databases. That every application benefits from using the best-of-breed technology for each requirement. And that the plethora of special-purpose options available from certain cloud providers is reasonable to manage. That’s all BUNK. The reality is that navigating the choices, figuring out how to use them effectively, and dealing with the ETL and inevitable data sprawl, is so difficult that the pain far outweighs any technical advantage you might get.

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Bernd Ocklin; The MySQL NDB Cluster team works on fundamental redesigns of core parts of NDB architecture. One of these changes is the partial checkpoint algorithm. You can now take full advantage of it when building much larger clusters: NDB 8.0 can use 16 TB data memory per data node for in-memory tables. 3-replica 5 PB clusters can be build with disk data. The new partial checkpoint algorithm executes restarts up to 4x faster, reduces checkpoint times by a factor of 6x in typical set-ups and minimizes cluster’s disk space consumption. In addition the new checkpoints ... Read More

Feed: Teradata Blog. The hybrid cloud is not just a consideration, but for our customers, especially our larger customers, already a reality. To understand what we mean when we say hybrid cloud, we first need to define two terms: Hybrid Cloud: Uses mix of on-premises and one or more clouds. Multi-cloud: Uses two or more clouds. Typically, companies are using both hybrid and multi-cloud architectures. When we talk to our customers about hybrid cloud and or multi-clouds, we often hear the following: We want to use the best-of-breed cloud for a workload. We want to be cloud agnostic. One cloud provider does ... Read More
