The document discusses different data storage options for enterprises, including relational databases, NoSQL databases, file systems, caches, and message queues. It explores attributes like data type, volume, access patterns, and lifecycle that should be considered when selecting a storage solution. Relational databases are best for transactional workloads with structured data and queries, while NoSQL column-family databases can scale for unstructured data and high volumes. A hybrid approach may be needed for complex workloads. The WSO2 platform supports both relational and NoSQL options through integrated services.
