451 Research analyst Matt Aslett created this Database Landscape Map:
My reaction when I first was this was that diagrams in the style of the London Tube Map have long since jumped the shark, but hey: this works really well. Database technologies don't map into a terribly clean taxonomy, with a range of architectures and intended applications. This is a neat way of connecting together entities that share characteristics with other entities, and can also have multiple charcteristics themselves. The section from SkySQL to Oracle Exalytics, reminiscent of the District Line / Circle Line / Metropolitain line overlap, is a great way of representing how the ways these databases are both similar and different. Kudos, Matt. (Via the author.) SParikh wrote: This article speaks true to the importance and capitalizing of the cloud. Me having experience dealing with cloud based tech and consulting and integration services, I realize the need for a secure and consistant cloud service. Many people are concerned with the privacy, or lack thereof, that could occur with storing personal documents into a non-physical storage unit. I can see, though with companies such as ours and Metacloud, we are working toward a more secure and easy to use cloud system for both personal and professional use.
