Figure 1 shows a high-level component view of Apache Ignite. So far in this blog series, I have briefly discussed Clustering and Deployment and the Data Grid.

A recent study by IDC on Innovating with Real-Time Data and Insights with SAP HANA delivered some surprising results. IDC investigated the impact to 10 large organizations who had installed SAP’s in-memory database.
The investigation was authored by two of the world’s top database analysts, IDC’s Carl Olofson and Matthew Marden. As more and more organizations adopt in-memory databases to overcome the performance limitations of disk-based solutions, stories about the real value to organizations over multiple…
