Comparative Analysis of Azure Cosmos DB vs. Traditional RDBMS on Cloud

Big Data is one of the most significant emerging technologies that allow organizations to capture, store, analyze, and visualize data, thus enabling them to extract useful information for better decision-making. To manage Big Data, distributed databases are an inevitable and inseparable part of distributed systems. The increasing amount of data produced by different sources calls for constrained resources to address the problem of data deluge. Therefore, Cloud computing provides advantages not only in terms of Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), but also in terms of massive storage, computing resources, scalability, on-demand access and maintenance-free systems. The increasing amount of data produced in different fields of life has brought difficulties to data management. Growing interest in data management has led to the study of performance and scalability of DBMSs on Clouds.
