For many years, the process industries have struggled to find a better way to anticipate, collaborate and act on the mountains of data collected every day in plants all over the world. But what if they could make sense of it? What if companies could not only understand it, but use the data to: Predict problems & identify opportunities in time to act on them? As to in-memory cache, our models make the plant more effective since they cover more than the data areas. Templates, libraries and depth of experience make these models more powerful for plants across a number of scenarios.

We are investing a lot in both Big Data and Analytics. We have joined hands with SAP on many fronts, and co-located at many of their premises for co-development work. India is in early stages of adoption. But the whole trend towards mobile computing is attractive. In-memory is something where we have not really been caught by surprise. It is about solutions that cover both applications and hardware. Hardware capacity is now graduated to a much higher level now. So now some technology components will be new. Still, a large segment will continue to meet the solutions. It would be a parallel segment, HANA market is yet to mature.

(Sunil Bhave, Vice President, Application Services, Fujitsu Consulting India, consulting arm of Fujitsu, on the evolving equation between analytics and storage)
