Systems of Intelligence are Driving Database Proliferation: Part 1 – Big, Fast, Semi-Structured

The one-size-fits-all approach that suited the database industry so well in the era of Systems of Record is effectively unworkable. Systems of Intelligence have to manage many data types as well as high performance and high capacity workloads, where the design centers are completely different.

Wikibon has identified 10 different workloads and the types of databases required to support them. Exactly which vendors, how many databases, and how they need to be delivered depend on an enterprise’s internal skill sets and their need for optimal functionality balanced against more integrated simplicity.
