Relational Databases

For decades, relational databases remained essentially unchanged; data was   segmented into specific chunks for columns, slots, and repositories, also   called  structured data. However, in this Internet of Things (IoT) era,   databases need  to be reengineered because the very nature of data has changed.   Today’s  databases need to be developed with the needs of IoT in mind and have   the  ability to perform real-time processing to manage workloads that are   dynamic.  For example, relational databases should be able to work with   real-time data  streaming and big data (an example was presented in the Unit  III  Lesson).

Scenario: Falcon Security wants their customers to be able to view security   video footage in real-time and provide customers with the ability to query   video  footage for viewing. Choosing a database solution such as MongoDB would   allow  Falcon Security to store customer video footage in the same database as   the  metadata.

To do this, Falcon Security needs a way to manage the demands of real-time   data streaming for real-time analytics. Conduct some research for a NoSQL   database application, such as MongoDB or Cassandra, that could meet this need.   How would switching to a real-time database solution help Falcon Security   remain  competitive? Create a PowerPoint presentation that includes the   components  listed below.

1. Provide a brief introduction to IoT.
2. Present the argument to the Falcon Security CEO that switching to a more         dynamic database structure (NoSQL real-time database) will meet the   demands   of     IoT.
3. Introduce some features of the database you chose, whether it is MongoDB,         Cassandra, or another database.
4. Describe how switching to a more dynamic database will give Falcon         Security a competitive advantage.

Your presentation must be a minimum of six slides in length (not counting the  title and reference slides), and you must use at least two academic resources.   Any information from a resource used must be cited and referenced in APA   format.
