Kinetica CTO releases top predictions for what will drive adoption of next generation analytical databases in 2018
First, organizations will demand a return on their IoT investments, due to the focus on location intelligence, predictive analytics, and streaming data analysis use cases. Enterprises will also move from just experimenting with AI to actually using it in the enterprise. He also predicts that it is the beginning of the end of traditional data warehouses. Data warehouses can’t keep up with the volume, velocity, and variety of data, according to Negahban, so he believes enterprises will look to move to next-generation databases by utilizing memory or advanced processor architectures such as GPU or SIMD. Finally, organizations will build safer AI with audit trails to determine what causes incorrect decisions made by AI systems that lead to large problems.
