In-Memory Computing: A Discussion on Lifting the Burden of Big Data

 
 
 
Business data is growing at an incredible rate, and organizations of all sizes, across all countries and industries, have to face the challenge of scaling up their data infrastructure to meet this new pressure. Advances in server hardware and application design have led to a potential solution: in-memory computing. This webinar will discuss recent findings from Aberdeen Group's December 2011 study on the current state of Big Data, which showed that organizations that had adopted in-memory computing were not only able to analyze larger amounts of data in less time than their competitors - they were literally orders of magnitude faster. Also featured will be a representative from a company that has already invested in this technology, to speak about their experiences in implementing this new tool and the impact it had on business performance.
