Abstract

Translate Article

The paper presents shortly a history and development of database management tools in last decade. The movement towards a higher database performance and database scalability is discussed in the context to requirements of practice. These include Big Data and Big Analytics as driving forces that together with a progress in hardware development led to new DBMS architectures. We describe and evaluate them mainly in terms of their scalability. We focus also on a usability of these architectures which depends strongly on application environment. We also mention more complex software stacks containing tools for management of real-time analysis and intelligent processes.
