WHAT DO YOU NEED
FROM A MODERN DATABASE?

Virtualization,
Commodity & Cloud
Scale out / in
ACID
(consistency)
Existing SQL
skills & code
SQL database
abstraction
What everyone wants: What they don’t want to lose
“Elasticity” “SQL”
“I want to elastically scale my SQL RDBMS to the cloud”
Continuous
Availability

+ Complex
+ Expensive
+ Difficult to manage
+ Requires changes to the application
…and still doesn’t address on-demand
scaling needs or the desire to manage costs

scales by adding
more computers

ELASTIC SQL DATABASE
An elastic SQL database
combines the scale-out simplicity, elasticity, and
continuous availability that cloud applications require with
the transactional consistency and durability that
databases of record demand.

16. SUMMARY

17. Copyright © 2017 NuoDB - NuoDB Confidential
WHY ELASTIC SQL?
ELASTICITY:
üEasy read/write scale-out on
commodity hardware
üScale-in to minimize over-
provisioning
üDeployment flexibility (on-prem,
cloud, containers, hybrid, etc.)
üContinuous availability
SQL:
üStandard interface
üEasy migration of legacy apps
üReuse existing code & skills
üData management logic in the
database – not the app
üMinimize application complexity
