Recently, 10gen released the official MongoDB Native NodeJS Driver. eWEEK Labs put the driver to the test, and found that it was easy to use and very fast. The coding requires an approach typical of Node.js programming, whereby callback functions are provided to support the asynchronous nature of both Node.js and MongoDB. Using the straightforward API, we were able to perform standard database operations, such as inserts and queries. With proper indexing, we found that the operations were extremely fast. Additionally, the installation is simple with only a couple of lines of commands in the Linux shell, and the documentation is extensive.

The SnapLogic server is a sophisticated data processing server that uses a component architecture for copying and moving data through disparate data sources. The SnapLogic Designer provides a front end to the SnapLogic Server where you can integrate your data sources to flow through the components. Using the Designer, you drag and drop different types of components onto a canvas, configure them and connect them together. Different components can work with different data sources, ranging from flat files to relational databases, to cloud-based services. eWEEK Labs took the Designer for a spin; here is what we saw when we ran it.

It’s clear that NoSQL adoption has paid dividends to the Twitters and Netflixes of the world. But it’s been less apparent just how much attention mainstream organizations ought to pay to the trend, since relational databases are familiar and well-entrenched, and since many well-established solutions exist for scaling relational databases.

The free, open-source Talend Open Studio makes it easy to round up data, tweak it en masse, and load it into target systems such as databases and enterprise applications.
REVIEW: iLuminate sets out to address data warehousing limitations with its iLuminate 4.0 correlation database. Rather than store data in tables, iLuminate 4.0 organizes information in value pools based on data type, with an auto-generated indexing system that keeps track of the values' context. This fully indexed, value-based storage approach can yield significant performance benefits, but eWEEK Labs was most impressed by iLuminate's knack for making data available for analysis with very few planning or design requirements.
