NuoDB Picks Up Where Traditional Databases Stop

Application development will inevitably hit a brick wall when it comes to traditional database capacity, simply because capacity cannot be delivered on demand. NuoDB, a provider of webscale distributed database solutions, speaks to these challenges with its distributed, peer-to-peer approach.
