Presentation: "Going Beyond The Data Grid: Coherence, Normalisation, Joins and Linear Scalability"Time: Wednesday 14:05 - 15:05 Location: Westminster Suite, Fourth Floor
Abstract:
In 2009 RBS set out to build a single store of trade and risk data
that all applications in the bank could use. This talk discusses a
number of novel techniques that were developed as part of this work.
Based on Oracle Coherence the ODC departs from the trend set by most
caching solutions by holding its data in a normalised form making it
both memory efficient and easy to change. However it does this in a
novel way that supports most arbitrary queries without the usual
problems associated with distributed joins. We'll be discussing these
patterns as well as others that allow linear scalability, fault
tolerance and millisecond latencies.
