World Moving to SaaS
"By 2018, most software vendors will have fully shifted to a SaaS/PaaS code base. This means that many enterprise software customers, as they reach their next major software
upgrade decisions, will be offered SaaS as the preferred option. Put together, new solutions born on the cloud and traditional solutions migrating to the cloud
will steadily pull more customers and their data to the cloud."

Data
Application Shard
Application Shard
SaaS Application
SaaS Application
ELASTIC & HIGHLY AVAILABLE
Data services should provide capacity as needed Lowers cost & increases simplicity Mimics the service model that the application is providing Support multiple tenants
If data is unavailable then the application is unavailable The data service must be resilient to failures It must also support upgrade & migration In public cloud this applies to storage, network, etc. as well
28
Copyright © 2016 NuoDB
CLOUD-NATIVE MODEL+ Public, on-premise or hybrid, deployment models are moving to
“cloud architectures”+ Data services must run virtualized and/or in containers
Supports virtualized disk & network as well Hooks into common monitoring tools
+ Cloud is virtualization & commodity Failure is more likely Redundancy and horizontal scale are requirements
29
Copyright © 2016 NuoDB
SIMPLE DEV & OPS+ Familiar programming experience
APIs, languages, debugging tools, analysis, test deployment, etc.+ Simple, on-demand provisioning+ Ability to automate:
Backup & recovery Upgrade Migration
+ Single, logical view for both developers and operators
30

+ On-demand and elastic+ Available and exploiting the
advantages of cloud deployment
+ A single, logical service+ Able to support application
migrations and new development with a common operations model
SaaS DATA SERVICES MUST BE…

NuoDB – SQL & SCALE+ NuoDB is a SQL database architected for the
cloud+ ANSI SQL & ACID Transactions
Full support for Schema, JOINs, Indexing etc. Standard isolation levels; no restrictions on transactions Migrate your apps & use existing tools
+ Designed for Cloud Peer-model that scales well on virtualized infrastructure Distributed with no single owner or actor for any data In-memory processing allows for storage flexibility
32
Copyright © 2016 NuoDB
SERVICE SEPARATE FROM STORAGE+ Service layer is a transient, peer-to-peer cache
No shards or explicit partitioning: the database appears as a single logical unit to developers and operators
Only the working-set is in-memory Scale throughput & clients quickly, on-demand
+ Storage is redundant and flexible Automatically replicate durable data to multiple
locations Allocate the right resource types to the right tasks
+ Both tiers survive failures & support upgrade at any peer
33

PROVISIONING & ORCHESTRATION+ A light-weight orchestration tier provides:
A single logical view of the running system Load-balancing & process discovery for SQL clients Resource monitoring & management for administrators Visibility into failures and a platform for automation
+ Provisioning a new host or container is simple Start from an image or install NuoDB on a new instance Point the new instance at an existing peer; provide
entry credentials The new instance is available for expanding an existing
database or starting a new database instance from a single point of management
