Big Data Application Meetup at Cask HQ

Apache Ignite PMC Chair Denis Magda will speak at the Jan. 31 Big Data Application Meetup in Palo Alto, Calif. at Cask HQ. During his talk, titled "Apache Spark and Apache Ignite: Where Fast Data Meets the IoT," Denis will show attendees how to build a Fast Data solution that will receive endless streams from the IoT side and will be capable of processing the streams in real-time using Apache Ignite's cluster resources.

Why? Because it’s not enough to build a mesh of sensors or embedded devices to obtain more insights about the surrounding environment and optimize your production systems. Usually, your IoT solution needs to be capable of transferring enormous amounts of data to storage or the cloud where the data have to be processed further. Quite often, the processing of the endless streams of data has to be done in real-time so that you can react on the IoT subsystem's state accordingly.
