Databases now and in the future

Dear all,

I'm working on a project that needs a solid base for future growth.
It's currently build in PHP with MySQL, its a very simple registration system in itself.
But we foresee large transactional load for the system, like a few million users doing one or more transactions per day.
The details of the transactions are not complex more like 40 or something items on a form.

Now what i know is that my current setup is not able to handle this profile and i need some information based on research or experience

How can a NoSQL database help me in this respect if at all?
How can a NewSQL Database help me in this respect if at all?
If I stay with the current solution how should i go about this?

I ask this because it looks like a NoSQL db is very attractive for my setup, every form could be a single complete item in the db instead of having it linked throughout the table set that marks a relational db. But i just have been looking on the surface and would like to have a few more informed opinions on this topic.

Thanks
Brian

>>you may need more servers in a well-connected data center, not a 'better' database.

i read up a bit on the alternatives and high traffic low complexity databases

and yes i realize that we need more servers to spread the load, databases will be split up by group of users and run on their own server

i'm starting to believe that a nosql database are delivering to a specific need and it comes very close to the requirements we have

but then i still would like to know what kind of database and how to implement them on the hardware as we plan for our own servers it's easy to configure them per our requirements
