Transferring
Until recently, there have been very few challengers to relational databases like SQL Server, which have reigned supreme for nearly 50 years. Now, traditional relational databases find themselves being replaced by newcomers like MongoDB, Cassandra and Hadoop along with non-relational, NoSQL, NewSQL and Big Data options. These new technologies have a lot to offer but don’t always play nice with existing systems and applications that were built with relational models in mind.
Firms that are starting to migrate to new technology need to future-proof their environments by finding a 'connector-tolerant' application to ensure seamless connectivity with a multitude of sources such as MongoDB, SparkSQL, Hadoop, etc. The faster organizations can move data for analysis, the faster they can free up the storage required to house the information at the collection points, cutting down on storage costs and management.
