Innovation

Understanding Big Data – It’s Not Very “Big”

from Big Data Executive Summary – 50+ top executives from Government and F500 firms

64% - Ingest diverse, new data in real-time

15% - More than 100TB of data20% - Less than 100TB (average of all? <20TB)

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” ― Thomas A. Edison

Back in 1970…Cars Were Great!

Lots of Great Innovations Since 1970

Would you use these technologies for your business today?

Including the Relational Database

For which computers the relational model has been designed for?

So Were Computers!

And Storage!

Document Data Model

Relational MongoDB{ first_name: ‘Paul’, surname: ‘Miller’, city: ‘London’, location: [45.123,47.232], cars: [ { model: ‘Bentley’, year: 1973, value: 100000, … }, { model: ‘Rolls Royce’, year: 1965, value: 330000, … } ]}

Document Model Benefits

• Agility and flexibility– Data models can evolve easily– Companies can adapt to changes quickly

• Intuitive, natural data representation– Developers are more productive– Many types of applications are a good fit

• Reduces the need for joins, disk seeks– Programming is more simple– Performance can be delivered at scale

Developers are more productive

Automatic Sharding

• Three types of sharding: hash-based, range-based, tag-aware

• Increase or decrease capacity as you go

• Automatic balancing

Query Routing

• Multiple query optimization models

• Each sharding option appropriate for different apps

High Availability – Ensure application availability during many types of failures

Disaster Recovery – Address the RTO and RPO goals for business continuity

Maintenance – Perform upgrades and other maintenance operations with no application downtime

Availability Considerations

Replica Sets

• Replica Set – two or more copies

• “Self-healing” shard

• Addresses many concerns:

- High Availability

- Disaster Recovery

- Maintenance

Single Data Center

• Automated failover

• Tolerates server failures

• Tolerates rack failures

• Number of replicas defines failure tolerance
