Powerful and Flexible Transaction Model For Demanding High Velocity
Transactional Applications

-- A key component of Oracle's Big Data Platform, Oracle NoSQL Database
2.0 is an enterprise grade, key-value database with flexible
transaction models. It enables customers to easily manage high
velocity transactional data generated by web-based applications,
social media, sensors, smart meters and communications services.
-- It is built using the proven Oracle Berkeley DB as the underlying
storage engine. Oracle customers have built many mission-critical
applications on Berkeley DB, serving millions of users.
-- New and enhanced features in Oracle NoSQL Database 2.0 include:
-- Better Performance: enterprise-class elasticity with near linear
scalability and under five millisecond latency enables users to
dynamically grow a cluster as their data grows with no
interruption in service. In recent performance tests, Oracle NoSQL
Database 2.0 delivered more than a million YCSB operations per
second on a 2.4 terabyte database on an 18-node commodity cluster
setup. (1)
-- Automatic Rebalancing: dynamic management of compute and storage
resources to maintain SLAs in response to increased demand and
changing processing requirements;
-- Enhanced Manageability: a simple, easy to use web console to
manage all aspects of deployment and monitoring, as well as
document management and structured data management in one product;
-- New APIs: a new C API helps improve developer productivity, a new
Large Object API supports efficient Large Object management, and
