MongoDB® 4.0.3 Performance With Vormetric Transparent Encryption 6.1.1 - White Paper

With the explosive growth of data in every aspect of our lives and in enterprises across the world, there is growing demand to derive value from this data and provide business intelligence. Enterprises depend on this intelligence so they can meet their customers’ needs in a timely manner and with greater precision. Along with traditional sources of data such as transactional systems and data warehouses, new sources of data such as those from the “Internet of Things”, click logs, social media interactions and sensors have emerged. Collectively, these vastly larger information volumes and new assets are known as Big Data. Enterprises today face a strong requirement to develop a new class of applications that can work with any kind of data (not just structured relational data) to harness the value of the data. At the same time enterprises have to be agile and respond to market requirements quickly, in order to stay ahead of the competition. MongoDB, a NoSQL general purpose document database has gained significant momentum in the industry, as an alternative to legacy relational databases. Using MongoDB, many enterprises are able to deploy new applications faster and scale the application performance with growing data set sizes while also reducing costs dramatically
