In recent times as the need for large, organized and especially reliable data stores has increased, so has the need for easy management of these resources. It is inevitable that every business seeks databases that can hold their data and provide proper management tools to manage it. The job for the Database Administrators is already challenging, and with the switch from single node systems (residing on one server/machine) to clustered systems (residing on multiple machines/servers), managing resources can be very stressful. Now when you think about managing clustered database systems, you have to manage the databases, their respective properties, and also the clusters on which these databases reside.
NosDB solves this headache with “NosDB Management Studio”, allowing you to operate multiple machines from a single location, easily and efficiently. Before we proceed to how NosDB solves your problems let us briefly examine what NosDB is. NosDB is a clustered database system, which insures reliability by accommodating large amounts of data in databases, on different servers. A cluster in NosDB is comprised of shards on which the data is distributed on the basis of configurable distribution strategies. Each shard may have one or more replica nodes which replicate data of the shard. This works just like an internal fault tolerant backup system, so that you don’t have to worry about data losses.
