applications have to be available
24 hours a day, seven days a week
– no exceptions. Delivering 24/7
availability is a challenge for relational
databases that are deployed to a
single physical server or that rely on
clustering with shared storage. By
contrast, NoSQL uses partitioning,
data distribution and replication to
provide always-on availability, even on
a global scale.
What this means
to the enterprise
As enterprises shift to the digital
economy – enabled by cloud,
mobile, social media, and Big Data
technologies – developers and
operations teams have to build and
maintain web, mobile, and Internet of
Things (IoT) applications faster and

technology to power today’s web,
mobile, and IoT applications.
Hundreds of Global 2000
enterprises, along with tens of
thousands of smaller businesses and
startups, have adopted NoSQL. For
many, the use of NoSQL started
with a cache, proof of concept or a
small application, then expanded to
targeted mission critical applications,
and is now the foundation for all
application development.
With NoSQL, enterprises are
better able to both develop with agility
and operate at any scale – and to
deliver the performance and availability
required to meet the demands of
digital economy businesses.
