The Big Picture:
Companies across
industries are “going
digital” in a big way

The shift to digital is driving new database requirements

How much unstructured data?
90%
When connected and used properly, such information
typically can help increase revenue, reduce costs,
respond to customer needs more quickly and accurately,
or bring products to market faster

NoSQL at Gannett: Re-‐engineering the CMS

Gannett: Challenges of RDBMS
• SQL Server is extremely expensive
• Utilize on-‐premise pet servers that have difficulty
scaling
• Significant replication latency issue with SQL Server
• Business logic coded into Stored Procedures
• Causes significant delay between publish time and presentation time

Gannett: Transition Goals
• Decrease the latency between publish time and
presentation time
• Remove business logic from data layer
• Allow for growth and scalability in the cloud
• Move away from pet servers
• Lower cost – Couchbase operates at 25% of RBDMS

NoSQL at Marriott: Moving from mainframe to distributed
Leading international hotel
provider with 4,200+ properties
in 79 countries
Replatforming from
mainframe-‐based DB2/Z to
distributed architecture

Marriott: Why replatform?
• Moving from legacy to distributed
• Skill sets available
• Open source
• Application development cost savings
• Infrastructure cost savings
• Leverage cloud strategy
• Data-‐driven logic vs embedded rules logic

Marriott: Why Open Source and NoSQL?
• Well suited for cloud deployment on commodity
hardware
• Scalability and High Availability
• Taking advantage of the myriad of Open Standards
vs Proprietary Vendor Solutions
• Native JSON processing
• Couchbase: N1QL, LDAP integration, Filtered XDCR,
Service scaling

Replacing RDBMS with NoSQL
for better scalability and
reliability in the cloud

We knew that we needed to re-‐architect and move to something
that didn’t involve SQL at all. The vertical scaling of SQL is
just very limiting.
We had a bunch of SQL Serversup in the cloud serving up the
web stores. That basically melted on a Black Friday

more cost savings will be achieved as SQL database contracts
are phased out

• Using Couchbase since 1.8, originally for caching,
now for persistence as well
Couchbase has enabled us to do this far more easily than we
ever could have, compared to trying to deal with large SQL
servers and dividing it up and partitioning data… Unlike SQL
Server, as we grow, we just add nodes. We need another
node, we’d spin one up. Zero down time.
