What’s held the analytics industry back?

30-year-old design principles have dictated a lack of system innovation:

• CPU – processors capable of driving high-speed response were expensive and proprietary, and lacked memory addressability (64 bit vs. 32 bit)

• RAM – memory was costly, slow, not highly reliable, and power hungry

• Storage – spinning disk has largely been too slow and expensive, resulting in significant bottlenecks accessing data

• Application Design – traditional database and data warehouse design relied on structures and schema that focused on insulating applications and users from physical hardware limitations

Systems were optimized for transactions –

BI was an afterthought!
