The Present and Future of Database Technology

Modern day software applications are driven by the power of web, which keeps on scaling up or down for efficient cost maintenance and system performance. NoSQL databases are capable of delivering this solution as compared to the RDBMSs and so has become the choice of organizations.

 Conventional RDBMSs remained the choice of the developers and database administrators for years. The schema definition property of RDBMS makes a declarative and specific method for defining the data and queries in a database. However current scenario of technology and industry, asks for faster synchronization of instances to match the requirements rapidly. With this trend followed, RDMSs became inflexible with time due to the introduction of various cloud computing and distributed computing models.

 NoSQL databases provides the rapid synchronization needs of organizations while following the relational model of databases. NoSQL database technology offers cost-effective management of data for building scaled out modern web and mobile applications. Some of the features of NoSQL database technology are:
Scale Out: Modern day applications are based on the purpose of distributing the load accross the virtualized environment instead of deploying high capacity servers to accomodate the users. Scaling out is the term used in this context where engaging high capacity server for improving the performance of the application is not the solution instead, distributing load across the network to maintain the cost of the operation is the key for successful business process.

No Schema Assistance: NoSQL database supports the feature of inserting the data into the database without defining a rigid schema for the instance. This enables the modification in the data format without any downtime or without disrupting the application. This imparts immense flexibility in the application and routine procedures and eventually delivers adaptability in the business for substantial benefits.

Integrated Caching: In contrast with the conventional RDBMSs where a separate caching tier needs to be developed and maintained by an operations team, NoSQL databases provide the integrated caching system which cache the data in the system memory in order to reduce latency.

Cost Effectiveness: While RDBMSs rely on expensive, proprietary and dedicated servers for serving the requests and storing data, NoSQL database relies on more economic shared servers. The effective cost of executing the transactions per Gigabytes of memory in NoSQL comes out to be much less than conventional RDBMSs.  

 The reason why NoSQL is more efficient in terms of performance as compared to RDBMSs is that relational databases follow the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability) properties of a relational model due to its table based nature. A NoSQL database does not distribute the logical entities across multiple tables instead it stores them at one location.

 A NoSQL DB does not impose referencial integrity between these logical entities but only inside a single entity. This allows the distribution of data across the nodes automatically. Change management is another key advantage of NoSQL DB as it allows to change the schema of the database without unnecessary efforts or with little amount of efforts.

X-Ray Technology

We never ever thought the technology would become real because it is sci fi, science and fiction combined. But when you come to think of it, less than a decade ago no one imagined the touch technology in our favorite Apple and Android gadgets would be possible. But here we are today, enjoying this gadgets and can't even live a day without using them. So, if we say a palm sized x ray gadget is well within our reach, it is not an exaggeration.

 Tribogenics are currently working on and developing a patented technology in portable and compact x rays. The x ray technology plays a big part in our daily lives. We see x ray machines in hospitals, malls, airports, and some offices. But the technology itself has yet to have a major evolution in the past decades.

 A portable hand held x ray can be an ideal improvement to it. Not only that one can bring it easier to places where our today's x rays can't be, it can be a good energy saver device. The big and bulky machines that we have today consumes a lot of electricity, so while we are enjoying the service it provides, may it be in medical or security, we spend and lose a lot of electricity for it.

 The Tribogenics team might still have a lot of work to do, but with their vision of providing better imaging solutions will not only impact our hospitals and offices. The mining industry will also benefit from it. Aside from that, it will greatly help the military by adding another scanner device to a list of their tactical gadgets.

 With the proposed technology and the ideal things that it can provide this small device will not only change the look of x ray machines. It can be the device that will spark another set of intelligent minds and create a chain of functional devices that are not for luxury but innovations that can help us with our needs, not our wants. ">We might see the last days of the conventional big and bulky x rays machines come to a close once a new technology of the future will be made into reality. We've all seen sci fi movies that featured out of this world gadgets, and perhaps one of the more popular are scanner machines and x rays. Notably, movies like Star Trek featured high tech x ray scanners they call tricorder.
