Additional learning objectives include:

• NoSQL at its Core- How NoSQL technology shifts the traditional database architecture and why this shift is important for both agility and cost savings in the era of Big Data.
• Enterprise NoSQL- How and why NoSQL must evolve from its initial iteration in order to become an enterprise-class solution for the challenges of scaling complex information models.
• Benchmarks- Performance benchmarking results comparing SQL vs. NoSQL, with visual examples of traditional SQL coding as compared to more streamlined NoSQL coding, such as those found in an object oriented database (OODB).

"We're committed to the continuing education of developers and those interested in data management," said Versant VP of Product Strategy, Dirk Bartels. "This webcast will be a great place to learn about the changing dynamics of the data landscape and the benefits of using a NoSQL technology - both in terms of agility and an organization's bottom line."
