A one size fits all database doesn't fit anyone

All Things Distributed

A common question that I get is why do we offer so many database products? The answer for me is simple: Developers want their applications to be well architected and scale effectively. To do this, they need to be able to use multiple databases and data models within the same application. Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases.

SDNs and NFV are complementary and core components of modernized networks

Network World

The terms software defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) are often used interchangeably, which is incorrect.
