In-Memory Computing webinars
Things usually slowdown in summertime – but not when you’re dealing with in-memory computing webinars! If you missed them live you can always watch the video later. Here’s a look at what’s coming up later this month.
Because every webinar is recorded, there is a rich library of past webinars available for playback anytime – with the slides also accessible for download. Here’s a peek at the most recent:
- Building Consistent and Highly Available Distributed Systems with Apache® Ignite™
- Take Telecom to the Next Level with In-Memory Computing
- Distributed ACID Transactions in Apache Ignite
- Financial Regulatory Compliance: Navigating the Ever-Changing Landscape
- GridGain 8.1 – In-Memory Performance w/ Durability of Disk Across 1000s of Servers
In-Memory Computing Summits
The only industry-wide events for in-memory computing users, the In-Memory Computing Summits focus on IMC-related technologies and solutions. The conference is attended by technical decision makers, implementers and developers who make or influence purchasing decisions about in-memory computing, Big Data, Fast Data, IoT and HPC solutions.
The In-Memory Computing Summit Europe 2017 was held in Amsterdam June 20-21 with some 200 attendees from 24 countries gathering to hear keynotes and breakout sessions on a broad range of in-memory computing topics.
Experts from several companies – including, ING, Barclays, Misys, NetApp, Fujitsu and JacTravel – presented topics spanning in-memory computing for financial services, web-scale applications, and the Internet of Things to the state of non-volatile memory technology.
I invite you to explore the some of those great talks on the IMC Summit’s YouTube channel – like the one below featuring GridGain founder and Chief Product Officer Dmitriy Setrakyan titled, “Apache® Ignite™: A Memory Centric Approach to Durable Distributed Systems.”
The videos on the IMC Summit's YouTube channel encompass most of the talks, but here is a list of those featuring Apache Ignite and GridGain:
- Apache® Ignite™ Meets Apache Flink
- Distributed ACID Transactions in Apache® Ignite™
- Apache® Ignite™ Service Grid: Foundation of Your Microservices-based Solution
- GridGain and Apache® Ignite™ in Large Banks and Financial Institutions
In related news, the third-annual In-Memory Computing Summit North America is Oct. 24-25 in South San Francisco. The Super-Saver rate is now available. Register here. The agenda is being put together now by the conference committee. It should be available by the next issue.
