Oracle Focused on in-memory, Cloud strategy

by

Oracle- CloudDatabase Giant, Oracle is looking to take advantage of CPU, DRAM, and Flash memory architectures to deliver in-memory solutions that enhance transaction processing and analytics. Along these lines, Oracle highlighted a comprehensive in-memory solution stack including the inmemory Exalytics appliance, in-memory middleware and business analytics, in-memory data cache (Times Ten) and the Oracle in-memory data grid (through Coherence), the inmemory
database (Times Ten) and an in-memory compute platform.

In-memory option for the Oracle 12c Database. With this option, the company expects to drive 100x faster queries and real-time analytics against OLTP or data warehouses, while also doubling transaction processing rates (i.e. insert rows 3-4x faster). In part, these improvements are

What are the Processes and Materials Used in 3D Printing ?

by

WineGlass Printed using 3D PrinterIn our earlier Article, we discussed how 3D printing has the potential to rewrite the rules of global manufacturing, with an impact that could be as significant to the industrial sector as the now pervasive adoption of the principles of the Toyota Production Systems and Lean Manufacturing. We’d like to enlighten on the actual Process and the Material used in the 3D printing Job.

The different print processes are typically tied to specific materials and produce varying material properties such as strength and surface finish that can better suited for certain applications. The print consumables address nearly the entire spectrum of materials currently being used in the manufacturing process with plastics, glass, paper, ceramics and even metals.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) / Material extrusion
The process involves plastic filament being forced through a

How Software Solutions & Mobile Apps Design Help Wireless Operators Manage Traffic ?

by

Software Solution - App Design for MobileWith Rising Data usage, Wireless Operators are Combining predictive network analytics software with business and operational tools to better predict and address congestion points and deal in real time. Software Defined Network is a developing cloud technology, where telcos use the Internet (cloud) to connect customer premises. This simplifies network managing policies and minimizes the hardware devices that a telco operator should deploy / maintain. Currently, this is limited to data centres and are mainly used to manage backhaul congestion issues. NTT has announced that it will launch an SDN-based network to connect enterprise customer premises systems with NTT’s enterprise cloud through the Internet.

Big Role of 3D Printers in Industrial Manufacturing, Human Lives

by

3D-Printer Big Role in Manufacturing3D printing / additive manufacturing market is about to experience much broader adoption across more upstream production applications and the consumer end market and as such our baseline assumptions project a slightly steeper trajectory than industry estimates. In the past 3D printers were seen as too slow to manufacture true production parts or end-use products and the machines / materials too expensive and technical expertise threshold too high for the average consumer. However, things are changing fast and 3D printers will play a Big Role in the next league of Industrial Manufacturing and shaping Human Lives.

Currently, 3D Printing accounts for less than 10-15% of $2B+ in revenue generated in the prototyping and pre-production mold industry, but we expect it to contribute more meaningfully over the next 3-10 years as global manufacturers incorporate the technology in an effort to gain any edge to differentiate

Asia Tech Conference – Enterprise Spending Picking Up, DRAM Pricing Strong

by

Asia technology ConferenceOur analysts attending the Asia technology Conference at HongKong confirm two major Trends in the industry – Enterprise Spending Picking Up and Strong DRAM Pricing.

Enterprise Spending – Both Lenovo and Infosys seem to see a pick-up in activity in the US. While Europe hasn’t recovered yet, Lenovo believed that it sees some early signs of stabilisation—from our perspective, macro indicators point towards a recovery in the coming quarters. Tech Mahindra, said enterprise services business

Chinese Internet Giants compete DropBox / SkyDrive in Personal Cloud Storage

by

Personal Storage on CloudThe personal cloud storage is a service model in which data is maintained, managed and backed up remotely and made available to users over a network protected behind an organization’s firewall

We have seen personal cloud storage services being widely adopted in the offerings of internet companies due to: 1) the potential of ubiquity across computing devices. The convenience of file sync’ing with any device ensures that users can install an app in each and every one of their devices, 2) the opportunity to build service exclusivity. As users store more of their material in one place, the cost of

Baidu World Developers Conference – Light Apps to Take on Google Apps

by

Baidu World Developers ConferenceBaidu CEO Robin Li spent much of the AM session of Baidu World discussing new mobile constructs. He noted that the Baidu open platform already has 700,000 developers and has a distribution platform capable of delivering 69mn apps on a daily basis, which we believe leads the industry. The 0.1% most popular apps represent 70% of all downloads.

Baidu and Concept of Light Apps
Baidu’s solution offers to replace native apps with “light apps” for long tail app developers, with a set of light app tools including

Qihoo 360 Mobile and Search Grows Faster – Google Out of Race

by

Qihoo 360 Chinese Internet Giant GrowsQihoo continues to grow its search market share in China and strengthens the industry #2 position with 16-17% search query share by July 2013. We believe Qihoo’s target of 20% search traffic market share by 2013 is on track. Qihoo’s market share of China’s online search market by page views (PV) increased to 16.3% in July 2013 from 10.4% in Dec 2012, according to CNZZ. Qihoo continues to grab page view market share from Baidu, whose share declined from 71.7% in Dec 2012 to 67.7% in July 2013. Qihoo is also building an Intelligent Search Monetization System.

Qihoo believes market share and user experience improvement is more important than monetization in the near term. Management believes Qihoo can change the competition landscape

Baidu’s Daily Android Active Users + Search Queries Grow

by

Baidu Mobile Optimizations GrowthAccording to Baidu, Android daily active users (one DAU representing a connection to the internet at least once daily) saw a net increase of 20m in Q2, up 10% QoQ (vs +56% QoQ in 4Q12 and +27% in 1Q13) despite a 30% QoQ increase in the
sales of Android devices in China. The slow-down in Andriod DAU growth likely owes to: 1) second-time purchases of Android devices and 2) some new Android users having yet to establish an internet connection. The report forecasts that Android DAU will surpass 300mn by year end,

Global Memory Prices to Soften Gradually

by

PC DRAM spot price has recorded a sharp correction from early July, in line but a bit earlier than our expectation. We expect mobile DRAM to drive further margin improvement on the significant reduction in production cost that offset the gradual price decline.

Less-than-expected demand for high-end smartphones is taking a toll on NAND prices, although server SSD demand remains robust. We are seeing polarization in product prices: NAND for memory card/MCP is undergoing a price correction on high competition while product prices of high-end NAND for SSD, eMMC, etc,
