Enterprises need to analyze their data and derive insights from doing so. But many have a need for speed that requires specialized acceleration layers to make this happen. In-memory database/grid platforms provide this functionality. For some organizations, the volume of queries is such that shaving off a few seconds can be the gating factor to success of a system.
