MongoDB Powering MTV's Web Properties`
MongoDB is powering the next-generation content management system at MTV Networks, a large enterprise application that manages and serves content for all of MTV Networks' major websites. The schema-less document structure provides flexibility and search capabilities, making it a good fit for the company. Despite initial challenges in convincing stakeholders of its value, MongoDB has become an operational reality due to its familiarity with MySQL. As part of its growth strategy, MongoDB is being rolled out on several other major sites within the next year, including spike.com, gametrailers.com, and numerous international properties, as well as new applications for social activity tracking and online polls.
