Advanced Orchestration Turns Many Clouds into One
Jan 6 2016
Arthur Cole
The more the enterprise turns to the cloud in support of expanding workloads, the more complex it becomes. The cloud’s chief advantage over traditional infrastructure, after all, is the ease at which resources can be provisioned for any task. But problems arise when this is done on a piecemeal basis, most commonly when business units and even individuals take it upon themselves to build their own clouds with no thought to how they will integrate with either legacy infrastructure or the clouds that their colleagues are provisioning.

Nuo DB
Recently, we’ve noticed growing recognition of the need for a database system that can handle the mission-critical workloads (requiring both SQL capabilities and ACID compliance) typically assigned to relational database management systems (RDBMSs), but can simultaneously support today’s cloud-based, on-demand economy.

Hands-On with NuoDB and Docker
Oct 27 2015
Nuo DB
Docker is a perfect fit for demonstrating the strength of our product in a simple and foolproof manner because we can wrap up everything we need in a NuoDB host and recreate it in a 100% repeatable fashion. With the requirement that the customer run Linux and have Docker installed, we could easily set up a tour of NuoDB so that it was a very robust environment.
