Need to scale your data tier? The foundation of every application is the database layer, and today application architects have more choices than ever. With these choices come new questions: Which database technology is best for your application? How can your application take advantage of Big Data technology? Can you run your relational database at Big Data scale? What does it take to implement a comprehensive data infrastructure, including your core database, incorporating SQL, No SQL and Big Data platforms?

In his session at the 12th Cloud Expo | Cloud Expo New York [June 10-13, 2013] Cory Isaacson, CEO/CTO of CodeFutures Corporation, will answer these questions and more.
