A universal Data & State sharing Fabric can help address the problem of different telecom systems using various protocols for communication by providing a shared fabric for real-time data and state sharing across systems. Existing solutions like databases and ESBs have drawbacks like being disk-based instead of real-time, lacking state sharing capabilities, and lower performance. IMDG provides a unified solution by combining the benefits of databases and ESBs while avoiding their limitations, allowing different systems and components to share data and state in real-time at massive scale with low latency.
The document discusses the limitations of traditional tier-based architectures for building scalable applications. It presents GigaSpaces' solution of using processing units that collocate services, data, and messaging in memory to minimize latency and maximize throughput. The key advantages are:
1) Services and data are collocated in a processing unit for minimal latency without network hops
2) Async persistence is used to store state changes for compliance/reporting while keeping data and services in memory
3) Resiliency is built-in through automated SLA-driven failover and redundancy between primary and backup processing units

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
