In the first post in this series, I discussed the emergence of NoSQL to address the need to make databases compatible with cloud needs. And in my last blog post, I talked about the dichotomy between smart databases and smart applications. I asked whether we can have smart databases that can scale on the cloud. So now let’s talk about why I think the answer is yes.

Recently, I shared the news that we released NuoDB 3.0! One of our highlights was our expanded technology ecosystem, with a slew of new partners, certifications, and integrations - including with Red Hat.

NuoDB 3.0 features new validations and integrations for cloud and distributed application environments, core database performance improvements, and streamlined, automated operations.

Cloud data centers are not static environments, pre-provisioned to run a known, finite set of workloads to support predictable demand. They are highly dynamic environments in which everything is changing all the time. At scale.
