ElasTraS: An Elastic, Scalable, and Self Managing Transactional Database for the Cloud

Cloud Computing comes with major features that made the migration to cloud appealing. These features are elasticity, pay per use, perception of unlimited resources and infinite scalability. These features are not provided by current Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) which made people to use key-value stores instead which provide such features. The problem with key-value stores that they lack the rich functionality and transactional guarantees of RDBMS. In this paper, the authors present ElasTraS which is a transactional relational database system that provides cloud's well-known features such as scalling out, fault tolerance and elasticity.
