Hasso, Columnar Storage And The Power Of Speed
Friday, May 29th, 2009From Sapphire ‘09, an excellent (and geeky) presentation by SAP founder Hasso Plattner on the concepts of “in-memory databases”, “columnar storage” and how these could revolutionize the enterprise software business as we know it. (Link to an .asf video file.)
A minor nitpick - I wonder why couldn’t SAP simply put the video up on YouTube. Aren’t these innovations worthy of spreading across all enterprises rather than just SAP’s customer base?
You can also learn about the differences between “columnar storage” and traditional storage from this helpful blog. (Link to EnterpriseGeeks)
