The constant evolution of access technologies are turning Internet access more ubiquitous, faster, better and cheaper. In connection with the proliferation of Internet access, Cloud Computing is changing the way users look at data, moving from local applications and installations to remote services, accessible from any device. This new paradigm presents numerous opportunities that even traditional businesses like telecoms cannot ignore, in particular, enabling new and more cost effective solutions to old problems. The work presented in this paper provides a detailed description of how a telecom application can be migrated to a NoSQL database. Particularly, by pointing out the necessary change of how we reason about data as well as the data structures that support it, in order to take full advantage of Cloud Computing. In addition, we also present a preliminary evaluation of different data persistency paradigms based on a fully tunable simulation platform that mimics the operation of a telecom business.
