The compactor handles critical post-ingestion and pre-query workloads in the background on a separate server, enabling low latency for data ingestion and high performance for queries. The demand for high volumes of data has increased the need for databases that can handle both data ingestion and querying with the lowest possible latency (aka high performance).

What’s the right way to manage growing volumes of enterprise data, while providing the consistency, data quality and governance required for analytics at scale? Is centralizing data management in a data lake the right approach? Or is a distributed data mesh architecture right for your organization? When it comes down to it, most organizations seeking these solutions are looking for a way to analyze data without having to move or transform it via complex extract, transform and load (ETL) pipelines.

Cloud FinOps is rapidly becoming popular among organizations in today’s digital age due to its ability to help manage financial operations more efficiently.

Migrating an on-prem database to a public cloud comes with a number of benefits, such as no longer needing to manage and maintain physical infrastructure, dynamic scaling, disaster recovery, and overall cost reduction. However, migrating to the cloud can often be a complex and daunting task. For instance, if an organization is a Microsoft shop with teams that rely on SQL Server databases, Azure is a natural fit for its needs.

In industrial operations, time is money. The more efficient processes and machinery are, the better it is for business. Providing proactive monitoring and maintenance of industrial machines, however, is not an easy task. This is especially true as these machines become increasingly complex and distributed. It’s not possible to have maintenance crews on site for every asset in a distributed system. The edge is where the physical world meets the digital world.
