SYSTEM MANAGEMENT IN DATACENTER USING A NON-RELATIONAL DATABASE

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed wherein a systems management application uses a non-relational database at its core. Also disclosed is the combined use of a relational database with a non-relational database to selectively store systems management data based on predefined selection criteria. The relational database, if included, comprises a table-based data store that can be queried using a SQL variant. The non-relational database may comprise a file-based data store and consumes UNIX operating system utilities to make faster retrievals from the file-based data store. The novel use of a non-relational database at the core of a systems management application increases performance and scalability in systems management applications.
