Much of what human beings experience as commonplace today – social networking, on-line gaming, mobile and wearable computing — was impossible a decade ago. One thing is certain: we’re going to see even more impressive advances in the next few years. However, this will be the result of a fundamental change in computing, as current methods have reached their limit in terms of speed and volume. Traditional disk-based storage infrastructure is far too slow to meet today’s data demands for speed at volume, which are growing exponentially. In-memory computing (IMC) offers the only practical way to scale to today’s computing demands. Although IMC may once have been the domain of only the most well-funded organizations, the falling cost of RAM means that it can now be accomplished by any organization on commodity hardware.
As Mike Matchett, Senior Analyst, The Taneja Group said: “Clearly the big data ecosystem is evolving, tackling more kinds of analytics and addressing a wider variety of applications, including enterprise operational intelligence (EOI) apps that require faster interactive latencies, predictive machine learning, split-second decision-making, and high-volume processing. In-memory computing is key to profiting from new competitively differentiating big data solutions like these.”
