		<description><![CDATA[Obviously, cloud computing is not just a fancy trend anymore. Quite a few SaaS offerings are already built on platforms like Windows Azure. Others use Amazon’s EC2 to host their complete infrastructure or at least use it for additional resources to handle peak load or do “number-crunching”. Many also end up with a hybrid approach [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like everybody else it took me a while to wrap my head around the BigTable concepts in Cassandra. The brain needs some time to accept that a column in Cassandra is really not the same as a column in our beloved RDBMS. After that I wrote the first Web Application and run into a pretty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last time I talked about the key differences between RDBMS and the most important NoSQL databases. The key reasons why NoSQL databases can scale the way they do is that they shard based on the entity. The „simplest“ form of NoSQL database shows this best, the distributed Key/Value Store. Last week I had the chance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most articles on the topic of NoSQL are around the theme of RDBMS vs. NoSQL. DBA&#8217;s are defending RDBMS by stating that NoSQL solutions are all dumb immature data stores without any standards. Many NoSQL proponents react with the argument that RDMBS does not scale and that today everybody needs to deal with huge amounts [...]]]></description>
