To remain competitive in today’s business environment, organizations must ensure they drive disruption rather than being disrupted. Traditional architectures make it difficult to compete in this new digital economy; you need an architecture that is agile and allows you to "act in the moment" to capitalize on opportunities or avoid threats. In-memory technology is a critical component of this architecture, but it is not the only technology you need to be confident you are prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. In this session, we will explore what a Fast Data platform entails and how it will allow you to create new value through the combination of people, business, and things. We will take a look at the integration, event processing, analytics, and in-memory technologies you will need to leverage to deliver on the changing needs of your business.
