Versant Addresses NoSQL Adoption Issues at the NoSQL Now! Conference
August 14 2012 - 11:00AM
Versant Corporation (Nasdaq:VSNT), a worldwide leader in developing
data management software infrastructure for complex,
mission-critical applications, today announced that Versant's Vice
President of Technology, Robert Greene, will present at
DATAVERSITY's NoSQL Now! conference about overcoming issues
associated with NoSQL adoption. Taking place August 21-23, 2012 in
San Jose, California, NoSQL Now! covers the dynamic field of NoSQL
technologies, offering objective evaluation processes to match the
right solution for the business challenge.
Robert's presentation will take place on Wednesday, August 22
during the Hadoop track. During the session, he will examine how a
lack of standards-based programming techniques contribute to
adoption problems with NoSQL technology, describing how better
integrations with standards based API's like JPA can be used
to overcome these hurdles allowing users to leverage the power of
Hadoop's MapReduce without having to radically shift the
programming paradigm. Robert's presentation will feature Big Data
deployment examples from the utilities and energy management
sectors, showing how things like consumer energy demand response
analysis can be performed at high speed and scale using Hadoop and
Java.
Additionally, at the show Versant will reveal a new whitepaper
examining NoSQL in the enterprise, focusing on the core value
delivered by early NoSQL technology and exploring implementation
issues within the context of soft-schema development. Furthermore,
Versant will unveil a recent set of PolePosition performance
benchmark tests detailing how well Versant JPA for NoSQL and the
Versant Object Database (VOD) perform compared to leading document
stores. As the test results reveal, after extensive testing against
several different database technologies, both NoSQL and relational,
Versant's object-based technologies outperformed others in 8 out of
10 performance benchmarks.
"Big Data has the potential to have a hugely positive impact on
businesses of all types and sizes, enabling them to capitalize on
this influx of information for things like better customer care,
streamlined procedures and deeper insight into business processes,"
said Versant's Vice President of Technology, Robert Greene. "NoSQL
is viewed as one of Big Data's big saviors but has some problems
when it comes to adoption, especially reliance on proprietary
languages that can cause vendor lock-in. I'm excited to show
attendees that by leveraging JPA with NoSQL they can more easily
conquer Big Data in a coding language with which they're already
familiar."
