New Requirements for Enterprise Computing

Abstract

When thinking about developing a completely new database management system for enterprise computing we first need to clarify whether there are significant opportunities for improvement in the area. The fact that modern companies have changed dramatically towards a more data-driven model gives the strong indication that this might be the case. For a typical enterprise computing use-case like assembly line management it now became viable to use sensors giving instant feedback on various parameters and producing huge amounts of data. Furthermore companies process previously available data at a much larger scale, e.g. competitor behavior, price trends, etc. to support management decisions. All this data volume will continue to increase in the future.
