Software AG's Next-Generation Data Management Platform is designed to overcome the challenges of managing Big Data using traditional data management approaches, including the proliferation of data silos exacerbated by new database types. By integrating its in- memory and event processing technologies into a single platform, Software AG will provide the speed, scalability and flexibility needed to meet changing business requirements. In addition to enabling rapid access to huge in-memory volumes, the Next-Generation Data Management platform will interface with existing databases, a range of new data streams and leading-edge analytic tools.
"Immediate access to large amounts of data and its analysis in real time increases transparency enabling quick decisions and short reaction times. This enables organizations to respond to market changes immediately and realize significant competitive advantages. High speed and scalability in the analysis of large volumes of data is a critical success factor for companies", said Software AG CEO, Karl-Heinz Streibich.
Software AG's BigMemory product is currently deployed at many large enterprise customers for multi-terabyte in-memory use cases. The company will build on BigMemory with capabilities that include in-flight processing of event streams and services for data profiling and aggregation, making real-time business analytics possible. In addition, the company will enable the processing of data from all data environments - (transactional, analytic, relational/non- relational, Hadoop/NoSQL and social - (in a single in-memory store.
"We are integrating our Business Events technology and BigMemory to perform real-time analytics", said Software AG CTO, Wolfram Jost. "Our vision is to provide an in-memory data management platform that bridges the needs of transactional and analytic applications. This approach provides low latency access to huge volumes of data to both enterprise applications and analytics and also interfaces with a range of new and legacy data stores and analytical tools. This provides a bridge between the IT of today and tomorrow."
