Open source software vendors 10gen and Talend have both turned their attention to the channel this week, announcing their intentions to start recruiting resellers in the UK as part of a strategy to up their growth rates and find new ways to generate cashflow from communities of non-paying users. 10gen is behind a database package called MongoDB, which has found a ready audience among internet firms that need to take a more flexible approach to their data management. It counts social start-ups including Foursquare and Craigslist among its customers and claims to have around 100,000 downloads a month as a free product
Back in November there has been quite a bit of buzz around MongoDB being behind Viber Media’s technology for free phone calls and text messaging. Understandingly so, considering we are talking about a platform with more than 18 million active users talking for more than 11 million minutes every day—and these numbers have probably grown quite a bit over the holiday season. The nice folks from Viber Media[1] have been kind enough to share more details about their platform and the way MongoDB is used.
OpenLogic, which makes enterprise open-source solutions for the cloud and data center, recently announced its 2011 trending report for open-source software. The report ranks hot open-source projects in three key categories: Web and application servers, application frameworks, and databases and big data. To develop its report, OpenLogic analyzed popular as well as up-and-coming open-source projects that are used as core infrastructure in enterprise applications. The purpose of the analysis was to evaluate whether enterprise adoption of the projects was trending up, staying level or declining.

While this week saw more news of NoSQL companies raising even more capital, one of the leaders in the NoSQL movement rolled out a new, free SaaS-based service to monitor your NoSQL database instances. 10Gen the makers of the MongoDB database have announced the new service called MMS (MongoDB Monitoring Service) which will not only give users real visibility into their MongoDB instance, but also provide them with best practice advice to get the most out of their use of the open source DB.

Today, MongoDB is the best-known NoSQL database, at least judging from Google’s statistics—searches for MongoDB are about twice as common as searches for the closest competitor, CouchDB. To meet the demand for support and ongoing development of MongoDB, the company has expanded bicoastally; it now has 80 employees, half in New York and half in Redwood Shores.
NoSQL databases promise to solve some of the most pressing problems with traditional database management systems, but so far they’ve been used sparsely by companies willing to pay for the software. That’s starting to change, and several start-ups in the space have recently raised capital as they seek paying customers coping with an explosion in data flowing through their websites.
If the hype is to be believed, platform-as-a-service is going to be massive in the not-too-distant future and SAP is partnering with MongoDB to drive its offering in the market.

CEO Dwight Merriman to Deliver 'Databases for Agile Development' Keynote Address
According to Ohloh, MySQL and MongoDB have little in common. One’s seen commits from over a thousand people, the other shy of sixty. One’s 1.1M+ lines of code, the other not even two hundred thousand. And architecturally, the projects are quite distinct. But in many respects, MongoDB is the new MySQL.
Although NoSQL may not be well understood by IT, one vendor appears to be cracking into the enterprise
IDG News Service - While debate rages on over the value of nonrelational, or NoSQL, databases, two case studies presented at a New York conference this week point to the benefits of using the MongoDB non-SQL data store instead of a standard relational database.

I attended my first startup company tech conference yesterday - MongoNYC. The conference was small (compared to the mega-shows I've seen in the West) but it was certainly impressive.
The merits of MongoDB, a NoSQL database management system, are detailed by its CEO.
"In the 'list of things I like about MongoDB,' performance is on the list - but not near the top. At the top of the list is the direction that 10gen is taking it. You couple document-based storage, geo-spatial searching and full-text searing with master/slave replication, built-in map-reduce, and automatic sharding, and all of the sudden you a lot more than just a place to store data. You also have a solution for _using_ your data - that's what excites me."
