NoSQL solutions
Part 3 is a tour of how NoSQL solutions solve the real-world business prob-
lems of big data, search, high availability, and agility. As you go through each
chapter, you'll be presented with a business problem, and then see how one or
more NoSQL technologies can be cost-effectively implemented to result in a
positive return on investment for an organization.
Chapter 6 tackles the issues of big data and linear scalability. You'll see how
NoSQL systems leverage large numbers of commodity
CPU
s to solve large data-
set and big data problems. You'll also get an in-depth review of MapReduce and
the need for parallel processing.
In chapter 7 we identify the key features associated with a strong search
system and show you how NoSQL systems can be used to create better search
applications.
Chapter 8 covers how NoSQL systems are used to address the issues of high
availability and minimal downtime.
Chapter 9 looks at agility and how NoSQL systems can help organizations
quickly respond to changing organizational needs. Many people who are new to
the NoSQL movement underestimate how constraining
RDBMS
s can be when
market demand or business conditions change. This chapter shows how NoSQL
systems can be more adaptable to changing system and market requirements
and provide a competitive edge to an organization.
