Upstream Data Growth
Escalation of data being collated by organizations about their business, employees, customers and suppliers, sometimes requires coordination between multiple sectors such as IT, Retail, Banking, Healthcare etc. Enterprises need to identify whether or not the database management system is adequate for handling transactions. More and more content is being created and all that data need to be managed. 80% of the data is unstructured, in the form of documents, Images, and audio visual files. One needs to look for
- Atomicity or Consistency in software, in a database transaction, either all or none of the update becomes available to anyone beyond the user or the application performing the update.
- Isolation- The results of a transaction are invisible to other users until the transaction is complete.
- Durability – Once done the results of transaction are permanent and survive future system failures.
All this is stored in a number of file servers spread across the web, which is very difficult to secure, search and share.
