Hybrid Databases?More Than Just Hype?

Session ID: DMT-1250 (link) | 2016-10-25 | 04:30 PM - 04:50 PM

Hybrid databases are still on the increase on Gartner's Hype Chart. We'll discuss various definitions/models for hybrid used in the market today, along with the pros and cons of each. We'll then dig into IBM's Informix hybrid support, which includes support for storage of various kinds of data (JSON/BSON, relational, time series and spatial), as well as support for accessing this data using a variety of strategies (SQL, NoSQL, REST and MQTT). We'll also discuss several customer use cases where this type of technology has worked really well.

Exploiting Informix In-Memory and Time Series Technology to Accelerate NoSQL Analytics on Intel Xeon

Session ID: DMT-3162 (link) | 2016-10-27 | 02:00 PM - 02:45 PM

The ability of Informix to combine the in-memory performance of Informix Warehouse Accelerator (IWA) and the flexibility of Time Series and NoSQL analytics makes it ready for the IoT era. Informix and Intel have collaborated to build a workload from real-world IoT data stored in the public cloud (from the National Water Information System) that highlights the capabilities of IWA, Time Series, Informix NoSQL and Intel Xeon technologies. This session will cover these technologies and the details of the workload, and will show how you can deploy in-memory deep analytics of NoSQL IoT data. It will also show performance benchmarks of the workload on the latest Intel Xeon E7 processors.
