What Leading DBMS Vendors Don't Want You to Know

The IT industry likes leaders. But COBOL, IMS, and the IBM mainframe proved that leaders don't lead forever. Now their successors are aging too. High-end relational database management systems running on SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) machines were the dominant computing platform of the 1990s. But once again, it's time for something new.

For very high-end applications, the list of viable database management systems is indeed short. Scalability can be a problem. Extreme levels of security can be had from only a few DBMS. And if you truly need 99.99% uptime, there only are a few DBMS you even should consider.

But for most applications at any enterprise — and for all applications at most enterprises — super high-end DBMS aren't required. Most Oracle or DB2 applications would run perfectly well on more cost-effective alternatives.

So should you port your existing applications to these alternative DBMS?
