NuoDB – Simply Scaling SQL. Traditionally if you want your SQL database to go faster you need a bigger computer. But the future is about cloud-computing and everyone needs horizontal elasticity on commodity machines. NuoDB is a radical architectural rethink and ground-up redesign of the SQL Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). NuoDB delivers SQL with 100% ACID transactional semantics, but unlike every other SQL database system NuoDB scales-out dynamically on heterogeneous commodity infrastructure. That’s right: Add cheap machines to a running database and you instantly get more performance. Take machines away and your data is safe. Share a large number of databases between a small number of machines. Run a database in multiple datacenters simultaneously. Have as many redundant live copies of your database as you want. Run NuoDB in your own datacenter, in a public cloud or a hybrid of the two. NuoDB supports your current APIs (eg JDBC, ODBC), tools (eg query tools, report writers, ETL tools) and employee skill sets. Sounds crazy? Take a look. Welcome to the world of Simply Scaling SQL.
