SQLAuthority Contests – Get 50 Amazon Gift Cards – Experience NuoDB Starlings 1.0.2

Posted in Technology, SQL Server, SQL, SQL Query, SQL Tips and Tricks, SQL Authority, T SQL, PostADay, tagged on April 4, 2013 | 63 Comments »

SQL is the standard database language. It has been around since the 1970s. ACID (Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, and Durable) guarantees that the database tier handles the transaction processing in a consistent and reliable manner, freeing the application from managing these tasks (and freeing you from having to code them into the application), while guaranteeing the integrity of the data in the database.

NuoDB is the world’s first and only patented, elastically-scalable, SQL database built for decentralized computing resources. It is built with a focus on the elastic scalability on the cloud with 100% ACID guarantees and SQL compliance. Another interesting point about this innovative database is that it removes administration tasks like sharding, caching, clustering and performance tuning. It has almost same syntax and interface which is familiar to any other database application.

NuoDB has recently released their a version earlier this month. The product is very robust and has many new enhencements. The recent release has over 75 bugs fixes and improved stability with Amazon S3. The best part is that this database can be installed on pretty much any platform i.e. MacOS, Windows, Amazon EC2 as well on Ubuntu. They have also recently announced availability on the Amazon AWS marketplace.

SQLAuthority News – NuoDB Announces Webinar Series To Demystify Cloud Data Management

Posted in PostADay, SQL, SQL Authority, SQL Query, SQL Server, SQL Tips and Tricks, SQLAuthority News, T SQL, Technology, tagged on February 18, 2013 | 1 Comment »

For those of you who read my blog regularly, you know that I’ve been evaluating NuoDB, a new database company that is re-writing the rules for relational databases. They’ve introduced a new category – Cloud Data Management Systems (CDMS) – and are claiming to be the first and only.

In an effort to ‘demystify CDMS’, they’re kicking-off a 5 part webcast series where industry experts, analysts, customers and partners will join NuoDB to cover a range of topics related to managing data in the cloud.

If you’re curious about the difference between a CDMS and a NoSQL store, NewSQL or even a 1980s RDBMS, like I am, this would be a good webcast to attend.

The first one starts tomorrow, Feb 19, at 12:00 p.m. EST.  It features Principal Analyst from Ovum, Tony Baer, and NuoDB’s CEO Barry Morris, and promises to cover:

  • Cloud database adoption, challenges and opportunities
  • What it means to be in the Cloud vs. on the Cloud
  • 12 Rules of CDMS and the need for Emergence
  • NewSQL vs. NoSQL vs. SQL

Tony Baer leads Ovum`s Big Data research practice. Over his 25 years in the industry, Baer has studied issues of data integration, software and data architecture, middleware, and application development. Having tracked the emergence of BI and data warehousing back in the 1990s, Baer sees similar parallels emerging in the world of big data today and discusses this frequently in his blog and Twitter feed. Baer’s coverage focuses on how Big Data must become a first class citizen in the data center, IT organization, and the business. He’s definitely someone worth listening to!

And as many of you know, Barry Morris also has over 25 years of industry experience in the USA and Europe, running private and public companies ranging in scale from early startup phase to 1,000+ employees. He loves to build companies around industry-changing paradigm-shifts in technology. Another great person to hear from!

Registration is required and you can register here. I’ll be there. Will you?

The world of database is changing. The traditional client server installation on premises still has a place in many organizations but many of these organizations are facing challenges with this setup setup as their data is growing exponentially every day. Well, as time changes the innovation is required. If you are reading this blog, you might have attended the announcement of the NuoDB General Availability. The event was highly attended and there was lots of interest for the product.

NuoDB has announced the general availability of NuoDB Starlings Release (V 1.0) – the industry’s first and only Cloud Data Management System (CDMS). I have just downloaded their product and trying out various features, they promised. I will be writing a detailed blog post as we go further on various aspects of the product.

There are two different editions of the product available - the Developer and Pro Editions.

Developer Editions (FREE)

This edition allows users to develop NuoDB apps at full throttle without restrictions on data size or number of hosts.  There is no charge associated with this edition. Additionally, it allows user to upgrade to pro edition when they are ready for commercial deployment. Register & Download  the Developer Edition today for FREE.

Pro Edition

This edition is very robust edition and it can handle millions of transactions per second, a huge number of concurrent users and Big Data on commodity hardware. And it’s free for apps that demand high transactional throughput with low storage requirements.

CONTEST

Here is good news – you can join me with the evaluation of the product. I am going to download the product and test various aspects of the product, you can do the same.

The good folks at NuoDB will give USD 10 Amazon Card to first 25 folks who download this product between now and Jan 31, 2013 11:59 PM EST.

Additionally, here is a bonus question for you - What is the maximum data storage capacity of Pro Edition? Leave a comment and you may win something really cool from me.

Here’s a few reasons I am finding this product interesting:

  • Elastic scalability built for the cloud.
    NuoDB scales elastically to improve transactions per second performance and handle both massive concurrency and data volume. Out and in; by simply adding or removing nodes.
  • 100% SQL, 100% ACID, 0% Hassle.
    This brand new CDMS has all of the features you want (like elastically scalable in the cloud with 100% ACID guarantees and SQL compliance) and none of the things you don’t (like complex database administration tasks).
  • Blistering Performance.
    NuoDB exceeds 1 million transactions per second in YCSB benchmark, all on inexpensive commodity hardware.

Now I feel very proud when I hear the announcement the product which I have seen growing from an infant stage to become extremely mature product.

NuoDB started with a blank slate to design a brand new Cloud Data Management System (CDMS) that has all of the features you want: 100% SQL, 100% ACID, 100% Elastically Scalable. The reason I call it innovative because an NuoDB user does not have to worry about any of the following:

  • NO partitioning or sharding
  • NO clustering
  • NO complex database administration
  • NO performance tuning

 It just works – no wonder they have patents on this innovative product. Well, now is the best part, the product is going to launch live on January 15th, 2013. This one-hour event will be available on the Web live.

On January 15, 2013, NuoDB, the world’s first and only patented, elastically scalable, SQL/ACID database, becomes generally available!

Register for the event on January 15, 11 AM EST! 

Matt Aslett, an analyst at The 451 Group, NuoDB execs and NuoDB customer representatives will:

  • Unveil a new standard for SQL database performance
  • Issue an industry-wide performance challenge
  • Show how top enterprise customers already use NuoDB
  • Explain the rapidly changing database landscape
  • Define what a 21st century database has to be

I will be there will you?

SQLAuthority News – NuoDB RC2 Available to Download – General Availability in Near Future

Posted in PostADay, SQL, SQL Authority, SQL Query, SQL Server, SQL Tips and Tricks, T SQL, Technology, tagged on December 28, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Regular readers who are familiar with my blog will be also familiar with my interest in NuoDB. It is a very innovative new age database which follows 100% SQL, ACID and Elastically Scalability. Here is an earlier article on this subject where we explain why sharing will no more required due to the implementation of the NuoDB.

Each NuoDB database consists of at least three or more processes that enable a single database to run across multiple hosts. These processes include a Broker, a Transaction Engine and a Storage Manager.  Brokers are responsible for connecting client applications to Transaction Engines and maintain a global view of the network to keep track of the multiple Transaction Engines available at any time. Transaction Engines are in-memory processes that client applications connect to for processing SQL transactions. Storage Managers are responsible for persisting data to disk and serving up records to the Transaction Managers if they don’t exist in memory.

NuoDB had just made announcement that NuoDB Release Candidate (RC2) is now available for download. It is a very stable release and have many bugs fixed.

Here are few of the new enhancements in the product:

  • SQL Improvements
    • Improved support in NuoDB SQL for time zones. Continued improved compliance with the standard.
    • New EXPLAIN statement
    • Support for ‘!=’ operator.
  • Tunable Commit Protocol Improvements
    • Improvements in support for configurable durability
  • Administration
    • Feature enhancements for the command line administration tool (NuoDB Manager).
    • Feature enhancements and improved usability for NuoConsole
    • New option that allows starting a database in non-durable mode.
    • New warning message in case the user tries to use the Web Console with JavaScript turned OFF
  • Using NuoDB APIs
    • Support for com.nuodb.jdbc.DataSource has been added.
  • Drivers and Connections
    • Significant improvements in JRuby Driver
    • Improvements in soft shutdown performance

You can download the this innovative database from here.
