The concept of NoSQL has become outdated as it categorizes a diverse range of databases with varying strengths and limitations. Instead, organizations seeking to tackle Big Data's three V's - volume, velocity, and variety - need a modern database that can handle all their application requirements. A modern database must scale, enabling agility to accelerate development and time to market, while also handling large volumes of data and rapidly growing data variety. It must enable organizations to iterate as they adapt to new business requirements, allowing them to do useful things with their data. To meet these requirements, a database must be able to scale, adapt to change, and unleash the power of its data through rich queries, indexing, aggregation, and search across multi-structured data sets in real time. Only MongoDB meets all three requirements, making it a modern database that can deliver on each critical component for today's business needs.
