The Webinar features GigaOm analyst Andrew Brust and special guest, Sachin Smotra from Couchbase, a NoSQL database for business-critical applications.

In this 1-hour webinar you will discover:

• What operational analytics is all about, beyond the hype
• How to balance OLTP and OLAP workloads, on a single platform
• How operational analytics can be achieved without the heavy lifting of separate data lakes, data warehouses, and ETL processes

Why Attend:

Today’s data volumes, combined with the credo of data-driven everything, make for an analytics landscape radically different from that of years past. Delays involved in moving and shaping operational data into separate data warehouses, data lakes and standalone BI platforms can thwart effective operational analytics. In fact, for some organizations, such segregation of infrastructure and process may not work at all.

Just because OLTP (Online Transactional Processing) and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) are distinct workloads doesn’t mean they should take place on separate platforms. Sure, dedicated server nodes may make sense to optimize the performance of operational and analytical tasks, but they need to operate on the same data, in a coordinated fashion. Modern databases – serving the needs of both business analysts and application developers – are great platforms for implementing such business-forward architectures.
