Looks like WordPress lost one of my two comments so here’s a short version. I have followed NuoDB for about a year now and am really excited about what they and some of the other NoSQL vendors are doing – trying to scale of data performance without throwing data modeling back 20 years, like the cool NoSQL databases do. I am also really disappointed that Microsoft and other relational vendors haven’t already built this into their products, as the need has been obvious for a very long time. Building SQL Azure without this kind of functionality was pretty much a big waste of time,in my opinion.Thanks for giving a shout out to NuoDB, Pinal!

Justin, cloud storage does not solve the same problems. A cloud server is just a server that lives in a remote data center, right? Cloud storage can certainly be useful but doesn’t, in itself, help a data server scale.

Hi Pinal. I’ve been following NuoDB for about a year and have been impressed with their approach to this problem. I am optimistic about this product and other “NewSQL” such as VoltDB. They offer scale-out performance without throwing data modeling back 20 years, like some of the NoSQL databases do. I’m extremely disappointed that Microsoft and Oracle haven’t already built this into their products.

Pinal,

Great article. Just to make sure that I heard you right ; you mentioned that NuooDB is a peer-to-peer software. Is this the same thing as open source software? Would using the cloud option be an alternative to database sharding, given the almost infinite storage you get from this kind of storage?

Thanks,
Justin

Hi Pinal,

Nice article!
Apart from switching to a new technology (NuoDB), is there any better solution within SQL Server World than Database Sharding ?
