dedicated set of nodes to produce highly accurate insights to solve
complex problems in near- real time. is is about applying high- end
analytical techniques to solve these problems within the in- memory
environment. For optimal performance, data is pulled and placed
within the memory of a dedi cated database appliance for analytic
processing (Figure5.4).
We will describe each of these pillars in greater details using spe-
cic customer examples. Each pillar is appropriate for a specic class of
analytical challenges. All are an improvement over traditional single-
machine computation.
