She writes: </p> <blockquote> <p> NoSQL is a new database technology used to store large data. Instead of storing lots of data on one machine, data can be distributed across multiple machines, thereby reducing the load on a single machine. NoSQL is also used to replicate data across multiple nodes. If data is replicated across multiple nodes, one is no longer at the mercy of a single node. So if a single node dies, the data is still available and accessible from another node. </p> <p> Many big companies have switched from the traditional SQL -like database to NoSQL-like database because of these two major reasons. Come to my talk to learn more about the advantages of using NoSQL. </p> </blockquote> <p> Refreshments will be served at 4:15 p.m. in the Computer Science Commons (Noyce 3817). The talk, <q>NoSQL,</q> will follow at 4:30 p.m. in Noyce 3821. Everyone is welcome to attend! </p> http://132.161.132.157/drupal6/node/599#comments databases distributed systems NoSQL Thursday Extras Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:14:41 +0000 stone 599 at http://132.161.132.157/drupal6
