      Great arguments - yes, I agree, most NoSQL solutions would be sub-optimal for your scenario.  I wonder whether there would be any value in an object-oriented or object-relational system though? I can imagine ways to extend the scenario where the ability to cope with rich data. sometimes loosely structured, would be quite useful - things like building plans, for instance, might be hard to deal with in a pure RDBMS, especially if you wanted to query them. Azure (or some other cloud-based service) is an interesting idea - makes a lot of sense.

      Black and white scheme will be greatly efficient at producing the area bigger. It is worthy to note that all transactions in the office must be made via the Internet since the bureau does not issue criminal records manually.

      Great share.

       

      My Appliance Shortlist:

      1. Netezza vs. Teradata
      2. Exadata (im not impressed by oracle for DW...so im skeptical about exadata...especially if the appliance targets both transactional and analytical)

      S/W:

      • DataStage vs. Informatica for ETL
      • For high volume, Ab Initio
      • Tools for the business SAS

       

      Im shocked that SAS didnt get much mention in that article

       

      I see Microsoft as a toy player in that market. good for SMB and people without strong knowledge (point n click)

      Very cool article. I have to say I am biased towards EMC. Out of the big data scope and more into virtualization they are quite innovative. They purchase VMware stock back in the day when IBM was a venture capital company and they partnered with Vmware and Cisco to create a company called VCE to provided virtualization solutions for servers and networking using EMC storage.
