Akiban unifies NoSQL and SQL by combining the agility of a NoSQL document store with the robustness of a SQL transactional database. With Akiban organizations can meet their mobile, big data and real-time reporting demands on operational systems with powerful SQL that executes complex queries 10-100x faster. Using Akiban with Drupal implementations speeds complex queries and reporting, without a need to extract-transform-load the data into a separate database. Instead, Akiban simply augments the MySQL database with no change to code, architecture or infrastructure.
