Abstract

Data volumes are expected to double every two years over the next decade. The global economic slowdown is resulting in organizations seeking to become more nimble with their operations and more innovative with their decisions. In the face of exploding data volumes and shrinking batch time windows, these organizations are struggling to make 'true' real-time decisions and gain a competitive advantage. Existing tools and technologies that aid decision making, first require data to be recorded on storage devices and run queries after the recording to detect actionable insights. Savvy organizations are fast-realizing that the time lost in this process leads to missed opportunities that might make the difference between success and failure.
