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,
Lynnette

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
