With IBM Cloud® Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) services, SME’s deliver and maintain ready-to-use, highly available, database instances, allowing developers and IT staff to focus on value added tasks and database software, infrastructure operations, database software updates, and backup. IBM Cloud® Database SMEs deliver and maintain ready-to-use, highly available, database instances freeing developer and IT staff time to focus on other priorities.
IBM Cloud supports an extensive portfolio of relational and no-relational (No-SQL) non-relational (Non-SQL) databases and integrations to support building or migrating a wide range of application types across all industries. Relational databases structure data in a tabular format with a fixed schema, while non-relational databases use flexible schemas, organizing data differently depending on the database type. Irrespective of the type of non-relational database, they all aim to solve for the flexibility and scalability issues inherent in relational models which are not ideal for unstructured data formats, like text, video, and images.
Our commercial and open-source databases support any data you bring to IBM Cloud: structured, unstructured, SQL, NoSQL, IoT, blockchain and more.
