In-Memory Computing: It's New and It's Not...
There is a lot of excitement about in-memory technology these days, especially as it applies to Big Data and analytics. In fact, it’s one of the fastest growing areas in all of computing, and has been since before Gartner identified it as such back in 2012. That should be no surprise to anyone since these new technologies promise to allow businesses to obtain actionable insight into their own data. This type of insight will play a big role in how much success these businesses will experience in the future, and in-memory technology will play an important role.
It may interest you to know, however, that in-memory technology has been around for a very long time, and runs on all platforms. Perhaps surprisingly, that includes the mainframe. Today, Big Data and analytics may not even be where in-memory technology makes its biggest impact on businesses.
Join us as we discuss some of the history behind today's in-memory computing enthusiasm, and provide you with some lessons learned from 40+ years in the in-memory computing business.
