Significance of In-Memory Computing for Real-Time Big Data Analytics
Ganesh Chandra Deka · Advances in data mining and database management book series · 2014
Cloud computing provides online access of users’ data anytime, anywhere, any application, and any device. Due to the slower read/write operation of conventional disk resident databases, they are incapable of meeting the real-time, Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) requirements of cloud-based application, specifically e-Commerce application. Since In-Memory database store the database in RAM, In-Memory databases drastically reduce the read/write times leading to high throughput of a cloud-based OLTP systems. This chapter discusses In-Memory real time analytics.
