Versant Technology Vice President: Full mobility will be the development trend of cloud data management

Recently, in 2011 China Software Technology Conference, Versant database technology Vice President Robert Greene received an exclusive interview with Sadie Net reporter. In the field of data management in cloud computing, the main trend in the future is the full mobility of data, Robert Greene said in an interview. At the same time, he also revealed that for domestic developers, Versant will soon launch certification training services.

It is learned that the Versant database is an advanced large-scale distributed database of the next generation, widely used in a variety of large data processing. Versant databases can efficiently support structured and unstructured processing in distributed environments and cloud computing environments. The Versant database supports both SQL and NoSQL, which can greatly improve the development efficiency and the lasting efficiency of existing applications.

Cloud database easy to implement "on demand"

When talking about the unique advantages of rivals, Robert Greene said that the current relational database is actually structured, but many international information systems require web, tree-like data that is heavily correlated, not simple data. The biggest difference between versant and other vendors ' databases is that they can support databases with complex data associations.

Faced with the huge opportunities that cloud computing poses for the database industry, Robert Greene says the cloud database is exactly what Versant has been doing. In the cloud environment for data storage, the most critical problem, the most complex problem is the database things. He says, for example, that the data in the bank is stored in the same server, but in the future cloud Bank your account and withdrawal records are actually located in different nodes, then to ensure that data security under a single node is better to implement, but if it is distributed in the case of the implementation is very difficult. The use of cloud database can directly solve this kind of distributed things, so as to promote industry development.

He also said that in the cloud computing architecture, cloud computing is actually a group of hosts to serve you, where the service is indifferent, which will involve a number of distributed technology and virtual machine technology. Virtual machine technology refers to the flexible allocation of computing resources according to the actual needs of customers. The Versant database is a distributed database, so the data nodes can be distributed in a large scope, in the range of the cloud, and can start or close the database as needed to achieve green low-carbon.

In response to the Chinese market's development strategy, Robert Greene said that at present Versant in China are mainly two aspects: first, the main realization is localization, including Chinese website, product culture. Second, the special needs of the Chinese market and customers to develop dedicated products. In addition, the database products are more general, in terms of the world is more applicable.

"Data Cube" lets enterprise hold live data

Today, companies face a huge amount of information, new data in the form of highly correlated content, multimedia and machine-generated communications, and the need to manage multidimensional relationships in real time has put pressure on traditional enterprise databases. Based on this background, Versant proposed the concept of "big data" and "Data cube (Magic cube)".

Robert Greene said the "Data cube" solution was launched precisely because Versant saw the real problems facing many companies today and there were no relevant solutions in the market. In fact, many mobile devices, including data generated in a variety of applications, are massive and expanding, and the key problem is that the data is not flat and may be distributed across different hosts. The data cube is because it is a personal structure, is a data body, its own structure can store complex data. Versant saw this opportunity to launch a "data cube" solution.

The full mobility of data will become a future trend

At the same time, Robert Greene has expressed his views on the development trends in the field of data management based on cloud computing. In the field of data management in cloud computing, he argues, the main trend in the future is the full mobility of data. Today, hardware architecture hardware is very rich, and flexibility is very high, but relatively, the data is more solidified, in the future in the cloud computing data management area, the most important thing is to solve the current data curing problem, so that the entire data into a fully mobile data, Can be in the cloud according to the needs of the business of automatic flow, complete flow, this time cloud computing and so-called on-demand delivery is meaningful.

At present, with the popularization of 3G Network and Intelligent Mobile terminals, mobile internet and mobile cloud computing will become the hot spot of future industrial development, and have great market prospect.

Robert Greene told reporters that Versant already owns a product called Versant db4o. Currently, DB4O has been able to perform very well on the Android operating system. At the same time, Versant is seeking to migrate such mobile products to more platforms, making them more adaptable.

In addition, he said, Versant already has a high-end product to solve cloud computing data storage, server-side problems. This embedded product is not only embedded in different terminals, but also with the greatest ability to provide our applications with transparent data synchronization capabilities. It can be in the cloud storage architecture, including data query, data download transparent synchronization data, so that the data can be realized in the cloud and terminal equipment free flow, therefore, the data of the full mobility, liquidity will become the future development trend.

Grasping cloud computing and the development of Internet of Things

In the future, the emerging technologies, new business forms and the integration, integration, including cloud computing, Internet of Things and other new technology will also play an important role in the development of the database industry.

Robert Greene said that the current integration of these information technologies is an inevitable trend of the market, Versant is also responding to this trend, while Versant is also committed to research and development of new products to adapt to the development of technology. In addition, Versant is working with these emerging technology leaders in China, such as Wuhan University.

He also said that Versant not only provides standard data and database structures, but also provides spatial data and database structures to accommodate future developments in intelligent cities, including those based on IoT.

will launch certification training for Chinese developers

In terms of developer and education training, Robert Greene says Versant has implemented three major measures in education and training. First, Versant has a special agency in China to help the Chinese market and Chinese developers understand Versant products and services, and similar institutions around the world. Second, Versant and several well-known domestic universities have established joint laboratories, such as the Chinese University of Science and Technology, Southwest University of Petroleum, will soon establish a joint laboratory at Wuhan University. Third, Versant also has a global technology forum and large-scale activities to promote our technology.

Finally, referring to plans for the future, he said that the future of the developer competition in China will be launched. At the same time, Versant has been providing regular training, and will soon be officially launched certification training services.
