Watch a replay of the webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtzPgLBy56w 451 Research and NuoDB outline the key database criteria for cloud applications. Explore how applications deployed in the cloud require a combination of standard functionality, such as ANSI SQL, and new capabilities specifically required to take full advantage of cloud economics, such as elastic scalability and continuous availability.

• Cloud computing has had a significant role to play in driving down the cost of
storing and processing data, along with delivering additional benefits such as:
• developer and business agility
• faster time to adoption for emerging technologies
• high availability
• reduced infrastructure configuration and management overheads.
• Cloud applications require a database that is able to deliver on the flexibility and
scalability advantages of the cloud, while maintaining the resiliency and
functionality expected of traditional databases.

Limitations of traditional databases
• Enterprise architectures have shifted from a scale-up to a scale-out approach to
make use of distributed hardware.
• Greater scalability demands
• Predictable performance problems
• Traditional relational databases were never designed to cope with modern
application requirements
• Geographic distribution
• Proliferation of cloud
• Multiple data types
• Modern application requirements require a rethink of the relational database
model

• Growing adoption of Databases on the Cloud and DBaaS, but hybrid is not a
trend, it’s reality
• Traditional relational databases were never designed to cope with modern
application requirements.
• Cloud applications require a database that is able to take advantage of and
enable elastic, distributed architecture.
• While also maintaining the performance, resiliency, security and functionality
expected of traditional databases.

Availability

19. NuoDB combines the scale-out simplicity, elasticity, and continuous availability that cloud applications
require with the transactional consistency and durability that databases of record demand.
Agility
Respond to market changes
faster:
+ Dynamically add or remove
servers
+ Deploy on public cloud,
private cloud or on-
premises
+ Modify applications faster
with a consistent SQL API
Total Cost of Ownership
Reduce overall costs:
+ Lower database licensing
costs
+ Better server utilization
+ Reuse existing SQL code
and skillsets
+ Provision servers with
demand – no pre-
provisioning
Time to Market
Bring applications to market

21. KEY IDEA #1: DISTRIBUTED BY DESIGN
21
1.Start with a client-server DBMS
2.Try to turn it into a Distributed
System
1.Start with a Distributed System
2.Deliver database services on this
system
DON’T DO
A single logical database
that scales elastically
Compromise database or application
to achieve scale-out

22. KEY IDEA #2: SEPARATION OF DUTIES
22
Separate transactions from storage
One logical database
+ Both tiers survive failures and rolling upgrades at any peer
+ Allocate servers and server types based on workload
Transactions in memory
+ Working data set in memory
+ No shards / explicit partitioning
+ Scale throughput & clients
on-demand
+ Transparent to applications
Storage is redundant & flexible
+ Durable persistence
+ Automatically replicate to
multiple locations
+ Tunable consistency models

Snapshots
Running NuoDB on four hosts (2 TEs
and 2 SMs) provides a fully redundant
deployment of NuoDB that can survive
any host failing.
Running NuoDB on five hosts (2 TEs and 3 SMs)
provides a fully redundant deployment of
NuoDB that can survive any host failing, and
provides for snapshot mgmt.

To increase throughput, simply add
TEs/SMs to other available machines
