Description:

Today's online and mobile database-backed applications can experience geographically-dispersed, and often unpredictable traffic patterns. These types of traffic patterns make it difficult to achieve high levels of performance when the database layer, and the data, reside in a single location.

In this presentation, you will learn how new database technologies have made it practical to run replicated, active database servers in multiple locations around the world, delivering better performance for online traffic patterns.

Using case studies from Mirror Image, we'll explore how their implementation of the Couchbase Server NoSQL database into their geographically-dispersed Edge Computing service has increased performance of their customers' distributed online and mobile applications.

In this webcast you will learn:

• When, and why a geographically-distributed database implementation is beneficial.
• How the digital advertising company Flashtalking has implemented data onboarding and a server side GUID store to achieve more granular and accurate targeting, and why it requires a geographically-distributed database.
• How Couchbase Server makes it practical to support multi-datacenter replication, and active-active database architectures.
• Details explaining how Mirror Image implements Couchbase Server, and how they're using it to provide a fully-managed, geographically-distributed database-as-a-service offering.
