Enterprise Software: Rise of Big Data Increases Interest in NoSQL Databases
NoSQL databases are structured stores that differ from traditional databases in that they are not based on fixed table schemas and are prized for their high scalability. The scalability comes at a price — many query features of relational databases, particularly join operations, are not available in NoSQL databases, and this can make working with NoSQL data more challenging. On the other hand, using large datasets with traditional databases presents it’s own challenge of performance and resources.
As more organizations collect large datasets — Big Data — NoSQL databases are gaining popularity. An Evans Data survey found that 56 percent of enterprise developers have used NoSQL on at least one project and 63 percent of developers expect to be using NoSQL on projects that they will be involved in over the next two years. Interest runs highest among enterprise developers. When the population of all developers is considered, 43 percent of developers expect to be taking on a NoSQL project over the next two years.
Janel Garvin, CEO of Evans Data Corp said that “the advent of Big Data is driving adoption of NoSQL, and this is especially true in the corporate enterprise. While it may have got its start on the web with innovations like Big Table and MapReduce, it’s the enterprise that can most benefit from NoSQL and developers realize this across all geographical regions.”
Interest in NoSQL is global. In EMEA, 39% of developers report plans to use it and in the APAC region more than a quarter of the general developer population uses NoSQL today and 68% have future plans.
