Open banking is a simple, secure way to help consumers and businesses to move, manage and make more use of money. Every time you make a digital payment – for example, using Apple Pay, Google Wallet, Venmo or other similar apps – to pay for a product or service, you’re relying on the new “open banking” framework to initiate an instant account-to-account (A2A) transfer to move money directly from…

The demand for instant account-to-account (A2A) transfers is growing rapidly. Unlike the processing of credit cards and bank checks, A2A is a direct transfer of funds from one account to another, whether person to person, person to business, or business to business. Apple Pay, Google Wallet, Venmo and other similar apps are examples of leveraging open banking to enable A2A transfers. The key…
Cross-border payments are financial transactions requiring a transfer of funds across international borders, whether purchasing goods directly from a company in another country, sending money to a friend abroad, or paying an international supplier for industrial goods. These transfers often require currency conversion, adhering to different regulatory frameworks, and working through different…
We’re excited to introduce GridGain 9.1 with powerful new capabilities for hybrid transactional and analytical processing. These features enable teams to run real-time analytics on live operational data – without impacting transactional performance.Traditionally, organizations had to choose between systems optimized for transactions (OLTP) and those tuned for analytics (OLAP). Maintaining…

When your Apache Ignite cluster is using excessive memory, Ignite provides various techniques to enable you to handle the massive volumes of data generated by your applications and services. While the common advice is to "throw more resources into the cluster," it is often not practical or feasible to instantly scale out a cluster. Typically, an Ignite cluster with a specific memory capacity is…

For those forced to read Plato’s Republic, you may remember the allegory of the cave, where people are chained to the wall. They can only see shadows of figures and hear voices that echo off the walls. This copy becomes their reality.In reading through the GridGain and Redis feature comparison, it’s easy to get lost in the 13 pages of detailed differences. But it’s important that you don’t,…
Apache Ignite is an extremely versatile open-source data platform that supports a wide-range of integrated components. These components include a robust Machine Learning (ML) library that supports popular ML algorithms, such as Linear Regression, k-NN Classification, and K-Means Clustering.The ML capabilities of Apache Ignite provide a wide-range of benefits, as shown in Figure 1. For example,…
Why is data distribution necessary?As systems that require data storage and processing evolve, they often reach a point where either the amount of data exceeds the storage capacity, or the workload surpasses the capabilities of a single server. In such situations, there are two useful data distribution solutions: data sharding and migrating to a distributed database. Both solutions involve…
