Yesterday, Cloudant Chief Scientist (and VP of powder-blue shirts) sat on a panel at GigaOm’s Structure Conference. Along with representatives from Xeround, ParAccel, and NimbusDB, Mike discussed the ins and outs of running databases in a Cloud environment. As the other three panelists represented more traditional relational and data-warehousing tchnologies, they turned to Mike to represent NOSQL databases as uniquely suited for high performance, elasticity, and operational stability.

We at Cloudant are delighted to have been chosen for this panel. This is the third year in a row we have sent delegates to Structure and we have always found the speakers, panels, and hallway conversations to be very enlightening.
