@katsnelson: @IBMbigdata many of in-memory
databases were clustered. SolidDB is a good example #bigdatamgmt
@IBMbigdata #datamgmt A7:
Yes. In-mem can be applied 2 any data structure 2 accelerate. To date, industry
mostly applies to columnar
@johncrupi #bigdatamgmt
A6: in a year we'll be discussing in-mem as key data persistence &
execution option in a real-time analytic infra
@tomjkunkel @IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A6: You can do both. Potentially, In-mem can be virtualized across server
cluster. Memory pooling
@rkeshavmurthy @Natasha_D_G @IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A6: In-mem in front-end means less roundtripping 2 DW in back-end. Save CPU
& bandwidth
@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A6; In-mem is optimal for front-end in 3-tier DW architecture. RDBMS is hub
tier. Hadoop/NoSQL is staging tier.
@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A6: In-memory is for fast front-end data access, query, mart, exploration. DW
hub can leverage HDD for storage.

@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A4: Yes but right now we're talking apps in data scientist productivity, not
specific scaling approaches 4 in-mem.
@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A4: Yes, but right now we're talking apps in data scientist productivity, not
specific scaling approaches 4 in-mem.
@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A4: ask more questions more rapidly against more of data, in-mem, helps data
scientists drill deeply to patterns
@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A4: data scientists can refine models far more rapidly if they hold all or most
o relevant working data in fast RAM
@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A4: data scientist can ingest, regress, visualize, explore, model, score,
iterate & deploy stat models more rapidly
@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A3: transactions are C (create), U (update), & delete (D) intensive...all
can go faster if in-mem & no disk access
@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A3: next best action, bridging analytics & transactions, could benefit from
in-mem 4 low-latency data & execution
@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A3: faster transactions that result from caching more frequently used data in
RAM at the server and/or client
@IBMbigdata A3: See answer to
previous "Any transactional app that demands split-second response
benefits from in-memory."
@InfoMgmtExec #bigdatamgmt
A2: Yes. Any transactional app that demands split-second response benefits from
in-memory.
@Natasha_D_G @jeffreyfkelly #bigdatamgmt
A2 Killer app of in-mem is ability to rapidly evaluate, iterate, & refine
statistical models
@IBMbigdata #bigdatamgmt
A2 Killer apps of in-mem $ visual exploration, modeling & scenario
