RelationalCloud

Principal Investigator Samuel Madden

Co-investigator Hari Balakrishnan


In RelationalCloud, we are investigating research challenges to enable Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) within the Cloud Computing paradigm. In particular, we are focusing on the problems of (i) characterizing workloads and assigning them on different data management solutions (ranging from multi-tenant database, to high-profile clustered main-memory solutions) and (ii) highly dynamic allocation of resources to accomodate evolving and bursty workloads in a transparent manner. Our long-term vision aims at combining multiple dedicated data management solutions behind a unifying DaaS interface: "One Data Service to manage them all."
