Big Data Spain

GridGain technology evangelist Akmal Chaudhri will be one of the featured speakers at Big Data Spain, a conference featuring AI technologies for smart business. The conference, which runs Nov. 13-15 in Madrid, will spotlight innovative AI and BD strategies. "Where the ideas of tomorrow meet the experts of today."

Akmal's session is titled: Powering up financial institutions with distributed systems.

In this presentation, attendees will learn about Apache Ignite and its key capabilities and features important for financial applications, including ACID compliance, SQL compatibility, persistence, replication, security, fault tolerance, fraud detection and more.

We will also review two major use cases of Apache Ignite: as a caching layer in-between applications and a database system to speed up response time and achieve scalability, and as a full-fledged distributed database with its own persistence layer.

Several Apache Ignite deployments in financial services will be also be covered, as well as an architectural deep dive into the deployment at one of the largest Russian and Eastern European Banks.
