Widespread digital transformation and the explosion of the internet of things has led to a dramatic increase in the volume, complexity, and unpredictability of data. This goes beyond the challenges of big data into a new world of extreme data where data can be structured or unstructured, static or streaming, machine or human, and long-lived or perishable. Traditional analytical database solutions running on CPUs can’t deliver results on extreme data in real time; new solutions are required. As businesses are being disrupted across all industries by new, nimble digital challengers, it’s critical that organizations remain innovative. Those that are able to turn extreme data into insight that powers their business will gain a competitive edge.
Harnessing the massive parallel processing power of GPUs, new engines like Kinetica are helping businesses with the challenges of extreme data. The Kinetica engine converges advanced analytics, geospatial insights, and machine learning on a single platform. This enables both business analysts and data engineers to leverage data to power real-time business insights.
Michael Mahoney demonstrates how to leverage the power of GPUs to converge streaming data analysis, location analysis, and streamlined machine learning with a single engine and shares real-world case studies on how Kinetica is used to solve complex data challenges.
