Modern DBMSs
Demands from modern applications
- more flexible data structuring mechanisms
- very large data objects/values (e.g. music, video)
- alternative comparisons/filters (e.g. similarity matching)
- massive amounts of data (too much to store "locally")
- massive number of clients (thousands tx's per second)
- solid-state storage (minimal data latency)
- data required globally (network latency)
Clearly, not all of these are relevant for every modern application.
