Use Parallel Analysis – Not Parallel Query – for Fast Data Access and Scalable Computing Power

ScaleOut Software

For more than a decade, in-memory data grids (IMDGs) have proven their usefulness for storing fast-changing data in enterprise applications. Whether it’s ecommerce shopping carts, financial trading data, IoT telemetry, or airline reservations, these data sets need fast, reliable access for large, mission-critical workloads. Hosted on commodity clusters or cloud infrastructures, IMDGs harness the power of distributed computing to deliver scalable storage capacity and access throughput, along with
