Foundational Methodology of Data Science

In the domain of data science, solving problems and answering questions through data analysis is standard practice. Often, data scientists construct a model to predict outcomes or discover underlying patterns, with the goal of gaining insights. Organizations can then use these insights to take actions that ideally influence future outcomes for the better. The flow of IBM's data science methodology ensures that as data scientists learn more about the data and the modeling, they can return to a previous stage to make adjustments, iterate quickly and provide continuous value to the organization.

Developing Applications with Cross Data Center Replication (XDCR)

Mission critical applications need a database that is always on. While intra-cluster replication helps with server failures giving you high availability, your system still remains at risk from catastrophic failures. You may also need a way to improve the response time for users when they are globally distributed by replicating information closer to them.

In this white paper you'll see:
  • Overview of XDCR and its main benefits
  • XDCR architecture, topologies and use cases
  • How to develop applications with XDCR
  • Data flow, failover and consistency considerations with XDCR

The Top 10 Enterprise NoSQL Use Cases

Over the last few years, NoSQL database technology has experienced explosive growth and accelerating use by large enterprises for mission critical applications. What’s remarkable is the variety of organizations and industries adopting NoSQL. Eight to 10 years ago, when NoSQL pioneers first deployed the technology, its use was limited to Internet-age companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and LInkedIn. Today, enterprises across virtually every industry are deploying NoSQL. In short, NoSQL is now ready for enterprise prime time.

The document will introduce key drivers of NoSQL adoption - technical requirements and business benefits, the challenges with relational databases, and the role of NoSQL in big data deployments before providing a guide to the top 10 enterprise NoSQL use cases we’re seeing in the market today.
