LEGACY AND RELATIONAL DATABASE
CHALLENGES
Organizations spend ~$40Billion per year on database infrastructures and in
managing them. The Infrastructure, applications and the data itself have gone
through major changes in the past decade. Despite these changes, the underlying
data management tool — the relational database and the infrastructure supporting it
has remained the same. Organizations are considering alternatives as the legacy
databases were not designed to cope with the scale and agility challenges that face
modern applications and data, nor were they built to take advantage of commodity
storage and processing power available today. The technical motivation was the need
to handle new, multi-structured data types or scale beyond the capacity constraints of
existing systems — while in other cases the motivation was to identify viable
alternatives to expensive RDBMS database infrastructures that also required highly
trained DBAs.
Popular vendors for NoSQL databases include MongoDB and Cassandra that were
developed in response to the above limitations. They are high-performing, scalable
databases designed for a broad array of modern applications and data types.
Organizations of all sizes use it to power on-line, operational applications where low
latency, high throughput and continuous availability are critical requirements of the
system. EMC® ScaleIO® has validated these two vendors and offers a NoSQL solution
based on its software defined storage architecture where customers transform their
next generation business applications and database infrastructures to create a
differentiated business model.

of MongoDB and Cassandra workloads, all while helping maintain consistent low
application latency. Further, running NoSQL applications on ScaleIO can remarkably
compute and storage independently when compared to Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
deployments; all of which drives towards DBA, DevOps productivity, faster time to
market and low overall TCO. ScaleIO for NoSQL delivers five major benefits:
Petabyte Scale and Capacity: NoSQL architectures are built for scale. However,
when leveraging a traditional DAS platform, managing a large scale environment can
be challenging. Alternatively, ScaleIO is a great fit as it can scale compute and
performance resources linearly or independently to support NoSQL requirements – all
the way from a three server configuration to over a thousand servers.
Enterprise-Class Availability and Resiliency: NoSQL environments are
increasingly mission critical and require 99.999% availability. New nodes can be
added or removed from a cluster to support the business with near zero impact to
downtime or application SLAs. ScaleIO can also easily move sharded database content
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
improving volume mobility. Further, it increases infrastructure resiliency and faster
recovery of the database by preventing unnecessary node removal for simple disk
failures.
Consistent Performance: NoSQL solutions and ScaleIO work in unison to deliver the
consistent IOPS in meeting next generation application needs. When rebuilds and
rebalances are needed, performance optimization and tiering is automatic resulting in
no impact to critical database workloads and SLAs. Innovative cashing mechanisms
improve database performance and I/O efficiency under certain I/O profiles.
DBA productivity: With ScaleIO’s snapshot feature, DBAs can be comforted in
knowing that they can take and create a crash consistent copy of a distributed
database in minutes without any disruption to performance or SLAs. The snaps are
used for roll-back purposes i,e testing, validation, and pre-upgrades). Further, the two
copy mesh mirroring technique is simple and tuned for database performance to
rebuild missing data ensuring efficient redundancy.
Converged Operations AND Low TCO: ScaleIO as a converged deployment
consolidates all NoSQL applications and clusters on to a single platform avoiding
storage silos, driving storage efficiencies, and giving visibility of storage resources
across the datacenter. Agility, seamless management, broader virtualization footprint,
automation, support for multiple storage media, operating systems and hypervisors;
all contribute to a lowered TCO.

EMC AND NOSQL VENDORS
EMC and NoSQL vendors such as MongoDB and Cassandra are engaged in strong
technology alliance partnerships allowing global enterprise customers and partners to
adopt next generation applications to create a differentiated business model. In
parallel, EMC is also very quickly building integrations, plug-ins with other OpenStack
vendors to support next generation applications such as Docker, Flocker,
Microservices, Mirantis, Rex Ray, Red, Mesos, Hat,Canonical, and Ubuntu. The next
generation applications and platforms are poised to handle the digital economy.
