shift that gets geeks excited. It will undoubtedly transform
the IT industry, but it will also profoundly change the way
people work and companies operate.”

Risk Mitigation - Gartner

 Privileged user access—Who has specialized access to

data and about the hiring and management of such
administrators?
 Regulatory compliance—Is the vendor willing to undergo
external audits and/or security certifications?
 Data location—Does the provider allow for any control
over the location of data?
 Data segregation—Is encryption available at all stages,
and were these encryption schemes designed and tested
by experienced professionals?

13 October 2, 2019
Risk Mitigation
 Recovery—What happens to data in the case of a
disaster, and does the vendor offer complete restoration,
and, if so, how long does that process take?
 Investigative Support—Does the vendor have the ability
to investigate any inappropriate or illegal activity?
 Long-term viability—What happens to data if the
company goes out of business, and is data returned and
in what format?
 Data availability—Can the vendor move your data onto a
different environment should the existing environment
become compromised or unavailable?

not a traditional SQL-based RDBMS like MySQL or
PostgreSQL.
 You may either use the low-level datastore API or the
JDO or JPA object-relational mapping interfaces
provided.
 Various JDBC wrappers are available for the datastore,
and you may still be able to connect to in-memory
databases such as the H2 database engine or HSQLDB.

Where is it used?
The New York Times needed to convert 11 million articles
and images in its archive (from 1851 to 1980) to PDF.
Their Internal IT said it would take them seven weeks. In
the meantime, one developer using 100 Amazon EC2
simple Web service interface instances running Hadoop
(an open-source implementation similar toMapReduce)
completed the job in 24 hours for less than $300. —
