The Need for Operational Analytics

Operational analytics is a new database workload that requires an operational SLA, enabling real-time dashboards, predictive analytics, machine learning, and enhanced customer experiences. It demands a new breed of database software that goes beyond legacy architecture, addressing the need for speed, scalability, availability, reliability, and security to support high concurrency, fast data ingestion, and complex queries. Operational analytics workloads require an SLA on how fast data needs to be available, often measured in seconds or minutes, and must handle large datasets, multiple data sources, and disparate formats. SingleStore is a converged system that supports ANSI SQL, has a shared-nothing architecture, and offers features such as transactions, high availability, self-healing, online operations, and robust security, making it an ideal solution for operational analytics use cases like portfolio analytics, predictive maintenance, and personalization.
