The explosive growth of modern applications that drive business value based on new data sources such as big data, mobile and social data are becoming problematic for traditional relational databases. These business critical modern applications often need rapid access to a constant stream of small reads and writes for millions of records that don’t fit into traditional SQL database structures.

NoSQL can be a better option to relational databases for state-of-the-art applications. MongoDB, the leading open source database, is a scalable, high-performance open source document-based database that harnesses the innovations of NoSQL and maintains the foundation of relational databases. Moreover, when deployed on the right hardware infrastructure, it can lead to a lower total cost of acquisition and provide significantly greater performance.

Join us in this live webinar to learn more on:

- Why Modern digital applications would benefit from using noSQL, and in particular MongoDB
- Why speed is so important for business critical applications that use big data, social and mobile data
- How IBM Power Systems achieves a 2x price-performance for leading MongoDB workloads versus Intel
