Isn't this as much as anything a training and skills issue -- the number of people with training and experience managing SQL databases as opposed to NoSQL ones?

I am very glad to see this post by you regarding this information. I am eagerly waiting to see more resources in the internet on this topic.

I started reporting on data-analysis of warranty and auto-repair data more than five years ago. The Ford Explorer-Firestone tire rollover problem? Preventable. GM's latest flap with the Cobalt recall? Also preventable, but...

To be clear and according to Silent Circle's website. Their servers are currently located in Canada and will eventually be opening up in Switzerland. A thing to note, Canada has some of the stricted privacy laws...

Frankly, severral of the posts about this article are more than a little silly; the scary word 'drone' makes a lot of otherwise sensible (or not) people drift off into night sweats; the 'community outrage' over a radio controlled...

Snowden will be forever condemned for leaking classified NSA documents, but his actions have sparked a necessary dialogue on government surveillance. American Civil Liberties Union principal technologist Christopher Soghoian,...
In reply to: Snowden Impact
Interesting to note the steps Snowden took to avoid being traced by speaking to SXSW. According to a Washington Post report today, he used a Google Hangout videoconferencing program that ran through seven proxy servers to...

It's interesting to see how a nation that earned its reputation as a financial haven for those wanting to protect their wealth has evolved into a data haven for those wanting to protect their digital privacy.

It's refreshing to see fiscal discipline in at least one government sector. Like every private sector CIO, agency CIOs must figure out how to shift their budget dollars from keep-the-lights-on work to more innovative initiatives....

The proposed FY15 Federal IT may appear to make sense. But former Air Force CIO, William Lord, makes a great point elsewhere on our site (Breaking The Cycle Of Legacy IT Investment ) that failing to modernize legacy systems...

vchristy601, this list does a great job of illustrating the challenges policy makers have in front of them. One thing's for sure, these are questions that go beyond the FAA's jurisdictional air space. Even if we work out...

Snowden's taking of the documents was one of the most fascinating aspects of this whole revelation. If the NSA is so keen on hoarding data, it needs far better safeguards if some random contractor can gain access to not...

DavidL602 has it right. Plus, with products like Acronis it is possible to do a bare metal recovery. With the sync/share, if you were to lose your laptop or have it fail, you would have to reinstall the OS which...

As relational database was born in the mid-1980s, there was huge interest in it, along with constant headlines. IBM purposefully undersold it at the start due to customer disbelief and IBM worries about upending existing...

Encryption works, that's the good news. But it may have been compromised in the way it works and has been implemented in the recent past. So we need to get to the forms that work and pay the price of using them. Edward Snowden...

Doug - Although I've been doing quite a bit of reading, I'm still trying to get my head around just what makes something an In-Memory DBMS. One of my touch stones for comparing what appears to be a relatively new...
In reply to: What Attributes Makes It an In-Memory DBMS?
The fact that the government still does not know what Snowden took means encryption is more powerful than most in the technical community realize. Many believe that since the government had a hand in its creation that it...

I think that implementing a hardware solution is a good idea. This just makes it much harder for malicious actors to be able to break in - hardware is another gauntlet to get through. And it is a tough one to crack. ...
