Edward 5-7

Every day, businesses face the challenge of analyzing and responding in the moment to fast-changing data, and the workloads are only getting larger. In diverse applications, including cable media, IoT, logistics, financial services, medical monitoring, and more, companies need“operationalintelligence” – the ability to identify patterns and trends that impact competitiveness and then take immediate action. As legacy, database-centric software architectures have become increasingly overtaxed, in-memory computing(IMC)has stepped in to meet the need. This talk explores several use cases in which IMC techniques, both data-parallel and stream-oriented, have been applied to real-world applications and created breakthroughs in performance and scalability.
