Structure 2011 has been about Cloud. Earlier this year GigaOM ran a Big Data conference in NYC, but this week in San Francisco the top three topics were cloud, cloud and cloud. And one of the big themes in the cloud is data, including data storage and data management.

The most interesting panels have been 1) the Guru Panel with representation from Facebook, Salesforce, Netflix, COMCAST, Linkedin, and 2) the Cloud Databases panel with representation from NuoDB (fka NimbusDB), Xeround, ParAccel and Cloudant.

RethinkDB is “the database for solid state drives”. Or, it was. Slava Akhmechet, the brains behind the system, now talks about a system that adapts the storage medium.

Matthew Aslett, a senior analyst at the 451 Group research firm, just over a month ago single-handedly launched a new database category by coining a great name for it, NewSQL. This is a nice play on the NoSQL name as it is meant to encompass vendors of relational databases who are tackling the thorny issues related to horizontal scalability, elasticity and performance in the cloud. As testament to
