SAP HANA on IBM® POWER® is an established HANA solution with which customers can run HANA-based analytic and business applications on a flexible IBM Power based infrastructure. IT assets, such as servers, storage, and skills and operation procedures, can easily be used and reused instead of enforcing more investment into dedicated SAP HANA only appliances. In this scenario, IBM Spectrum™ Scale as the underlying block storage and files system adds further benefits to this solution stack to take advantage of scale effects, higher availability, simplification, and performance. With the IBM Elastic Storage™ Server (ESS) based on IBM Spectrum Scale™, RAID capabilities are added to the file system. By using the intelligent internal logic of the IBM Spectrum Scale RAID code, reasonable performance and significant disk failure recovery improvements are achieved. This IBM Redpaper™ publication focuses on the benefits and advantages of implementing a HANA solution on top of IBM Spectrum Scale storage file system. This paper is intended to help experienced administrators and IT specialists to plan and set up an IBM Spectrum Scale cluster and configure an ESS for SAP HANA workloads. It provides important tips and bestpreferred practices about how to manage IBM Spectrum Scale''s availability and performance. If you are familiar with ESS, IBM Spectrum Scale, and IBM Spectrum Scale RAID, and you need only the pertinent documentation about how to configure a IBM Spectrum Scale cluster with an ESS for SAP HANA, see Chapter 5, "IBM Spectrum Scale customization for HANA" on page 25. Before reading this IBM Redpaper publication, you should be familiar with the basic concepts of IBM Spectrum Scale and IBM Spectrum Scale RAID. This IBM Redpaper publication can be helpful for architects and specialists who are planning an SAP HANA on POWER deployment with the IBM Spectrum Scale file system. For more information about planning considerations for Power, see the SAP HANA on Power Planning Guide.

Learn the new Document Store feature of MySQL 8 and build applications around a mix of the best features from SQL and NoSQL database paradigms. Don’t allow yourself to be forced into one paradigm or the other, but combine both approaches by using the Document Store. MySQL 8 was designed from the beginning to bridge the gap between NoSQL and SQL. Oracle recognizes that many solutions need the capabilities of both. More specifically, developers need to store objects as loose collections of schema-less documents, but those same developers also need the ability to run structured queries on their data. With MySQL 8, you can do both! Introducing the MySQL 8 Document Store presents new tools and features that make creating a hybrid database solution far easier than ever before. This book covers the vitally important MySQL Document Store, the new X Protocol for developing applications, and a new client shell called the MySQL Shell. Also covered are supporting technologies and concepts such as JSON, schema-less documents, and more. The book gives insight into how features work and how to apply them to get the most out of your MySQL experience. The book covers topics such as: The headline feature in MySQL 8 MySQL's answer to NoSQL New APIs and client protocols What You'll Learn Create NoSQL-style applications by using the Document Store Mix the NoSQL and SQL approaches by using each to its best advantage in a hybrid solution Work with the new X Protocol for application connectivity in MySQL 8 Master the new X Developer Application Programming Interfaces Combine SQL and JSON in the same database and application Migrate existing applications to MySQL Document Store Who This Book Is For Developers and database professionals wanting to learn about the most profound paradigm-changing features of the MySQL 8 Document Store

Most organizations realize that their future depends on the ability to quickly adapt to constant changes brought on by variable and complex environments. It's become increasingly clear that the core source behind these innovative solutions is data. Polyglot persistence refers to systems that provide many different types of data storage technologies to deal with this vast variability of data. Applications that need to access data from more than one store have to navigate an array of databases in a complex—and ultimately unsustainable—maze. One solution to this problem is readily available. In this ebook, consultant Joel Ruisi explains how a multi-model database enables you to take advantage of many different types of data models (and multiple schemas) in a single backend. With a multi-model database, companies can easily centralize, manage, and search all the data the IT system collects. The result is data agility: the ability to adapt to changing environments and serve users what they need when they need it. Through several detailed use cases, this ebook explains how multi-model databases enable you to: Store and manage multiple heterogeneous data sources Consolidate your data by bringing everything in "as is" Invisibly extend model features from one model to another Take a hybrid approach to analytical and operational data Enhance user search experience, including big data search Conduct queries across data models Offer SQL without relational constraints
