Operational and transactional Enterprise NoSQL database provider MarkLogic has been chosen by the BBC to provide the database platform at the heart of the corporation’s new store facility.
BBC Marck Logic 7 June 2016Launched in the UK in November 2015, BBC Store is a new digital service designed to enable audiences to instantly buy and keep digital copies of the latest drama, comedy and factual shows, as well as classic titles from the BBC archive. Over 7,000 hours of content are currently available and shows can be accessed on a number of platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and Android.
“BBC Store lets us offer lovers of BBC programmes easy access to a vast catalogue of new and archived content,” commented Jonathan Green, director of BBC Store. “Until now over 90% of BBC programmes have been unavailable to buy once they had been transmitted. We’re at the beginning of an exciting journey to unlock the incredible BBC Television archive.”
The BBC has been working with MarkLogic for a number of years since the corporation decided to move away from traditional relational models and its static publishing solution to adopt an Enterprise NoSQL and semantics solution for use in driving dynamic semantic publishing. To build a content store it chose MarkLogic’s Enterprise NoSQL platform which provided the BBC with a schema-agnostic database that integrates search, semantics and application services.
MarkLogic believes that by building the BBC Store content store on the database, the corporation can deliver content quickly to its web pages. MarkLogic adds that it can also provide enterprise-hardened features and scalability needed to support high request volumes.
