Hi Andy,
I just shared the Google doc with you, Noah, Jan and Sally.
If anyone else is interested, let me know and I'll share editing
permissions as requests come through.
Thanks,

Hi Lynnette,
cool - thank you very much. I think it would be cool to have a Google doc
where we can add some comments ... if needed at all ;-)
Cheers
Andy

Thanks, Lynette.
I'm happy to liaise an introduction to Cassandra, as she initially came
to us through [email protected] --at a minimum I'd like to follow up on my
note to her stating that we'll find someone to help <g>.
Glad to leave things in your capable hands from that point!
Chat soon,
Sally

Hi there,
I've copy and pasted a draft for the community's review. Let me know if
you'd like me to share this as a Google doc if that's easier.
The submission date is 12/4. Once there's agreement on responses and who
will be the spokesperson, let me know if you'd like me to loop back in
with Cassandra, the writer at Software Magazine, on behalf of the
community.
Thanks,
Lynnette
Name and title of person responding to these questions (as you would like
it to appear in the article).
[TBD by CouchDB Community]
Please list your firm’s DBMS offering(s) and database model(s), as well
as what sets it (them) apart from other DBMS solution(s).
Apache CouchDB™ is an open source NoSQL database that moves data through
a unique model of replication and synchronization. CouchDB allows data to
be distributed across multiple data centers and devices—whether they’re
on-premises or across the globe—bringing application data to users
wherever they need it. The database well-suited for high-traffic
applications that use lots of reads and writes, and CouchDB’s replication
and synchronization allows for continuous use: even when devices are
offline, “always on” applications can withstand network problems and
maintain uptime.
Specific to “Big Data,” please discuss the benefits of this particular
type of DBMS model (if you offer multiple types, please comment on each).
What are the limitations?
CouchDB stores data as JSON documents, rather than in structured tables
like relational databases. This approach lends itself to a more
denormalized data model, where all the data related to a particular
record is encapsulated in a single document. Because data in CouchDB can
be logically grouped together into individual documents, CouchDB
implementations provide the ability to shard the database for better
performance and scale horizontally across many nodes.
At the heart of CouchDB’s distributed system design is peer-to-peer
“masterless” data replication. The same mechanisms that allow CouchDB to
create readable and writable database replicas within a single cluster
allow it to move and synchronize data between clusters around the world
or directly with Web browsers and mobile applications. As applications
grow, so does the amount users are interacting with and creating data,
which is why a database that moves data and scales gracefully is
critical.
There are limitations for highly relational workloads that don’t benefit
from the flexible schema of CouchDB, or for applications that rely on
databases to support transactions or prioritize hard consistency over
high availability.
Specific to Big Data, is there a benefit to an open source versus
commercial solution, and vice versa? Why or why not?
As businesses turn to DBMS solutions to handle a wide array of projects,
the open source options offer free, customizable, community tested
solutions. Many commercial products are built on open source databases,
so companies have the flexibility of the open source software coupled
with the services and benefits of a brand (for example, IBM Cloudant
offers a CouchDB-based managed service, with additional features Cloudant
has built and layered on top of the CouchDB open source database).
Another benefit, and a reason behind the open source basis of so many
NoSQL databases, is the innovation that inherently accompanies open
source. Instead of a small team working on a proprietary solution, open
source projects are supported by communities with diverse collaborators
from different backgrounds.
What trends can we expect in the near future in terms of DBMS as more
organizations look to add or enhance big data to their business strategy?
Ensuring high availability of applications is increasingly important, so
we expect to see organizations’ adopt strategies for moving data between
data centers and devices to make applications highly available.
Enterprises are adopting “offline first” design principles for Web and
mobile apps; organizations need to have the flexibility to move their
data to locations both locally and around the world, and the ability to
enable app usage regardless of network connectivity.

Hi there,
If this is something of interest, I'd be happy to start working up
responses. I can send along a draft for review early next week, and
the community can provide feedback and identify the "expert source"
to be cited.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks,

Hey guys --a quick heads-up that we've received the following media
query today.
There are some basic questions at the bottom of Cassandra's email
below; not sure if someone in the CouchDB community wants to take
this, or if you'd prefer I connected with another TLP on the
request. Please let me know how you'd like to proceed and I'll be
happy to liaise the introduction.
Many kind thanks,Sally

back to me by 12/5/14. Please let me know if you can help! I look
forward to hearing from you. Best,
