Abstract: Abstract Today, the affordability of commodity hardware with multi-core CPUs and several terabytes of main memory has enabled enterprises to change the way of how they operate their businesses. With the ability to hold the entire data set of an application in main memory, it is now possible to unify transactional and analytical data processing to provide a single source of real-time data. This allows decision-makers to better understand their enterprises, quickly adapt to business transformations, and swiftly react to unexpected influences at a lower cost of operating IT systems. In this chapter, we first provide an overview of the potential benefits and applications of in-memory data management. Furthermore, we discuss the technological foundations and feasibility of this technology in detail. Finally, we present a bypass solution for a non-disruptive transition to in-memory data management in the context of an enterprise IT architecture.
