Think Big: Scale Your Business Rules Solutions Up to the World of Big Data

Tue July 11, 2017 11:19 AM

Traditional business rule applications process records of a few megabytes of data at a time, one record at a time. As we move solutions to big data, rules may be applied to terabytes of data, and traditional IBM Operational Decision Manager (ODM) architecture needs to keep up with the increased demand. To scale business rules solutions up to the world of big data, this session presents an integration of ODM with Apache Spark and Hadoop MapReduce.
