The digital economy comprises business moments, critical fractions of seconds when lightning-fast chain reactions take place that transform data into insights and turn opportunities into business values. As data has increased in both velocity and volume, the common practice to support this growth has been to add more cache.

“Because of the digital transformation that organizations have been going through in recent years, their databases do not meet their tasks because they are too busy and too busy to operate, their maintenance is expensive and their performance, exploration and production are not fast enough and do not allow growth,” said John Dillon, CEO of Aerospike
