Analysis of NoSQL Storage in the Cloud

Abstract: Data storage is essential in many Internet services today. As the amountof generated data increases every day a way to store is needed. Relationaldatabases do not handle continuous growing data well. An option to it is touse NoSQL. XDIN Link¨ping is interested in developing an Internet serviceowhich uses non-relational type of data storage to store structured data. Thedata should be accessible to members of the service. The data storage doesnot make any assumption on what type of data is stored. Instead tags thatare attached to each entity are used to verify what type of data it is stored.This thesis provides a description of what NoSQL is and along with it theproposed database designs. Further it aims to investigate if it is reasonableto create a web service which uses NoSQL as the backend storage.
