A Primer on Nonrelational, Distributed Databases for IS Professionals

摘要

By completing a CBA, conducting a risk assessment and understanding the vulnerabilities found within this platform, an organization can make an informed decision about whether or not to use non-RDBMS. This decision is more important now than ever, as organizations must realize that data are their lifeblood, and as data grow, the manner in which they are treated should change. Hence, non-RDBMS now exist to either support Web 2.0 applications or augment RDBMS for managing big data. As organizations collect data in staggering quantities, it is crucial that they keep their options open for the best system to use for storing these data. As non-RDBMS grow toward critical mass, it is important to know how they work, how they can be used within an organization, how they differ from RDBMS platforms, and who is best suited to use them for collecting and processing data.
