Understanding the Strategic Differentiation of the Clusterpoint DBaaS
With all the talk today of the three V’s of big data – volume, velocity, and variety – few people like to mention the three C’s: just how confusing, complicated, and challenging the big data world has become in the few short years since the buzzword hit the scene.
Even the definition of big data presents a confusing challenge: data sets too large for conventional tools to store, process, or analyze. Big data are a moving target by definition, as new tools enter the market, confounding any notion of conventional.
Make no mistake – new tools arrive on the scene every day. New databases, data storage technologies, data movement, integration, and messaging products, as well as analytics, visualization, and insight technologies. Even emerging market categories are in flux, from NoSQL (“not only SQL”) to DBaaS (Database-as-a-Service) to “data intelligence” (whatever that is).
Out of Latvia comes a recent entrant to this confusing market: Clusterpoint. Clusterpoint offers ACID-compliant NoSQL DBaaS with built-in JavaScript querying. It’s blisteringly fast, less expensive than other DBaaS alternatives, and its JavaScript capabilities run circles around existing JavaScript-centric document stores that have been on the market for a while now.
But comparing product facts and figures, benchmarks, and metrics isn’t the whole story. To understand Clusterpoint’s strategic value proposition, we must place its innovations into the broader context of today’s disruptive enterprise trends: the democratization of big data, data gravity, and the increasingly important story of real-time big data.
