                    <p>
                        The current implementation of ML algorithms in Spark has several disadvantages associated with the
                        transition from standard Spark SQL types to ML-specific types, a low level of algorithms'
                        adaptation to distributed computing, a relatively slow speed of adding new algorithms to the
                        current library. Apache Ignite could work closely with Apache Spark due to exellent Ignite RDD/Ignite DataFrame
                        implementation (see https://ignite.apache.org/use-cases/spark/shared-memory-layer.html).
                        Also Apache Ignite has Ignite ML module that includes a lot of distributed ML algorithms, NLP package
                        (will be available in next release, 2.8), the bunch of approximate ML algorithms, simple integration
                        with TensorFlow via TensorFlow Ignite Dataset (currently, this is a part of TF.contrib package) and
                        also each algorithm supports the model updating that gives us ability to make online-learning
                        not only for KMeans and LinReg.

                        Learn how to boost performance 1000x and scale to over 1 billion transactions per second with
                        in-memory storage of hundreds of TBs of data for your MySQL-based applications.
                        Attendees will learn how Apache Ignite handles auto-loading of a MySQL schema and data from
                        PostgreSQL, supports MySQL indexes, supports compound indexes, and various forms of
                        MySQL queries including distributed MySQL joins.

                        Digital transformation is arguably the most important initiative in IT today, in large part
                        because of its ability to improve the customer experience and business operations, and to make a business more agile.
                        But delivering a responsive digital business is not possible at scale without in-memory computing.
                        This session, the third in the In-Memory Computing Best Practices Series, dives into how in-memory
                        computing acts as a foundation for digital business.

                        Distributed databases can make so many things easier for a developer, but not always for DevOps.
                        Kubernetes has come to the rescue with an easy application orchestration! It is straightforward to do the orchestration leaning on relational databases as a data layer.
                        However, it is more difficult to do the same when a distributed SQL database or other kind of distributed storage is used instead.
                        In this presentation, attendees will learn how Kubernetes can orchestrate a distributed database like Apache Ignite, in particular:

                        In this presentation, attendees will learn how to achieve the best performance and scale with
                        the new memory-centric approach to distributed architectures. The presentation will review traditional
                        in-memory and disk-based systems, compare their strengths and weaknesses, cover features such as
                        ACID compliance, SQL compatibility, persistence, replication, security, fault tolerance and more.
                        Additionally, the presentation will cover some of the most common use cases for distributed
                        computing and analyze some large Apache Ignite and GridGain deployments. Finally, attendees will learn
                        how to build the most effective and scalable systems by borrowing the best of
                        two worlds - disk-first and memory-first approaches.

                        Learn some of the best practices companies have used for making Apache Kafka and Apache Ignite scale.
                        Making stream processing scale requires making all the components --including messaging,
                        processing, storage -- scale together. During this talk, Akmal will explain:

                        Distributed databases can make so many things easier for a developer, but not always for DevOps.
                        Kubernetes has come to the rescue with an easy application orchestration! It is straightforward to do the orchestration
                        leaning on relational databases as a data layer. However, it is more difficult to do the same when a distributed SQL database or
                        other kinds of distributed storage is used instead. In this presentation, attendees will learn how Kubernetes can orchestrate a distributed database.

                        Apache Ignite Release 2.4 added built-in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL).
                        It not only eliminates any delays caused by transferring data to a different database or store.
                        It delivers near real-time performance by running a variety of ML and DL algorithms in place,
                        in memory, that are optimized for collocated processing.
                    </p>
                    <p>Learn more about these new capabilities and how to use them in Apache Ignite 2.4.  In his talk, Akmal will provide:</p>

                        Attendees will be introduced to the fundamental capabilities of in-memory computing platforms that
                        boost highly-loaded applications, research projects, risk analysis and fraud detection tasks by
                        storing and processing massive amounts of data in memory and on disk across a cluster of machines.
                        These capabilities and benefits will be demonstrated with the usage of Apache Ignite which is the
                        in-memory computing platform that is durable, strongly consistent, and highly available with powerful SQL, key-value and processing APIs.

                        In-memory computing technologies such as in-memory data grids (IMDG) and databases (IMDB), NoSQL and NewSQL
                        databases can make so many things easier for a developer. But implementing DevOps for these distributed technologies
                        and the related storage can be difficult. Luckily Kubernetes has come to the rescue!
                    </p>
                    <p>
                        In this webinar, learn how Kubernetes can orchestrate a distributed database or in-memory computing solutions using Apache Ignite as an example.

                        However, it is more difficult to do the same when a distributed SQL database or other kind of distributed storage is used instead.

                        This session will show attendees how to build a Fast Data solution that will receive endless streams
                        from the IoT side and will be capable of processing the streams in real-time using Apache Ignite's cluster resources.
                        In particular, attendees will learn about data streaming to an Apache Ignite cluster from
                        embedded devices and real-time data processing with Apache Spark.

                    <p>
                        While the cost of memory is still slightly higher than disk-based storage, an in-memory computing
                        solution offers a tremendous increase in performance and much greater flexibility to incorporate new
                        capabilities in the future. The benefit? A far superior return on investment (ROI), especially when
                        competitive advantage and customer experience is taken into account.
                    </p>
                    <p>
                        You are invited to attend our June 13 gathering at BootUp in Menlo Park for an insightful panel
                        discussion on in-memory computing hot topics and emerging trends (and more). The panel of experts
                        will also field your questions, suggestions and ideas.

                        This session will show attendees how to build a Fast Data solution that will receive endless streams
                        from the IoT side and will be capable of processing the streams in real-time using Apache Ignite's cluster resources.
                        Attendees will learn about data streaming to an Apache Ignite cluster from embedded devices and real-time data processing with Apache Spark.

                        Apache Ignite Release 2.4 added built-in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL).
                        It not only eliminates any delays caused by transferring data to a different database or store.
                        It delivers near real-time performance by running a variety of ML and DL algorithms in place, in memory,
                        that are optimized for collocated processing. Learn more about these new capabilities and how
                        to use them in Apache Ignite 2.4.

                        The 10x growth of transaction volumes, 50x growth in data volumes -- along with the drive for
                        real-time visibility and responsiveness over the last decade -- have pushed traditional technologies
                        including databases beyond their limits. Your choices are either buy expensive hardware to
                        accelerate the wrong architecture, or do what other companies have started to do and invest in
                        technologies being used for modern hybrid transactional/analytical processing (HTAP).

                        It is not enough to build a mesh of sensors or embedded devices to obtain more insights about the
                        surrounding environment and optimize your production systems. Usually, your IoT solution needs
                        to be capable of transferring enormous amounts of data to storage or the cloud where the
                        data have to be processed further.

                        This session will show attendees how to build a Fast Data solution that will receive
                        endless streams from the IoT side and will be capable of processing the streams in
                        real-time using Apache Ignite's cluster resources.

                        If downtime is not an option for you and your application needs to be extremely low-latency;
                        what cocktail of open source projects can facilitate this best? Both Kubernetes and Apache Ignite
                        are Open Source Frameworks that work exceedingly well together to achieve said goals. By working with containerization
                        Kubernetes helps enable developers to work seamlessly with new versions of their applications, running
                        them where they want with a flexibly scalable experience. Apache Ignite is the perfect complement to this.

                        It is well known that there is a tradeoff between data consistency and high availability.
                        However, there are many applications that require very strong consistency guarantees.
                        Making such applications highly available can be a significant challenge. Akmal will explain how to overcome these challenges.

                        If downtime is not an option for you and your application needs to be extremely low-latency;
                        what cocktail of open source projects can facilitate this best? Both Kubernetes and Apache Ignite
                        are Open Source Frameworks that work exceedingly well together to achieve said goals.
                        By working with containerization Kubernetes helps enable developers to work seamlessly with
                        new versions of their applications, running them where they want with a flexibly scalable experience. Apache Ignite is the perfect complement to this.

                        Apache Ignite is (an in-memory computing platform OR an in-memory distributed data store and compute grid) with full-fledged SQL,
                        key-value and processing APIs. Many companies have added it as a cache in-between existing SQL databases
                        and their applications to speed up response times and scale. In other projects they've used it as its own SQL database.
                        This session will dive into some of the best practices for both types of projects using Apache Ignite.

                        attendees will be given an overview of Apache Ignite and GridGain capabilities
                        that allow the delivery of high availability, while not breaking data consistency.

                        Distributed platforms like Apache® Ignite® rely on a horizontal “scale-out” architecture where you dynamically
                        add more machines to achieve near-linear, elastic scalability. But how does it really work? What are its limits?
                        And how can you optimize performance and scalability?

                        Apache Ignite provides a caching layer between applications and the system of record,
                        but additionally, it provides a peer to peer architecture for transacting data, performing computations, microservices, streaming, and much more.<br/><br/>
                        During this session, we will do a deep-dive into the Apache Ignite architecture and discuss
                        how it is being deployed around the globe. You will walk away knowing why and when to use Apache Ignite in your next data intensive application!

                        During this meetup, Valentin Kulichenko will talk about challenges and
                        pitfalls one may face when architecting and developing a distributed system. Valentin will show how to take advantage
                        of the affinity collocation concept that is one of the most powerful and usually undervalued technique provided by distributed systems.
                        He will take Apache Ignite as a database for his experiments covering these moments in particular:<br/><br/>

                        What is data affinity and why is it important for distributed systems?
                        What is affinity colocation and how does it help to improve performance?
                        How does affinity colocation affects execution of distributed computations and distributed SQL queries? And more...

                        Distributed databases can make so many things easier for a developer... but not always for DevOps.
                        OK, almost never for DevOps.  Kubernetes has come to the rescue with an easy application orchestration!<br/><br/>
                        In this talk you will learn how Kubernetes can orchestrate distributed database like Apache Ignite, in particular:

                        Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates the building of analytical models.
                        By using algorithms that iteratively learn from data, computers are able to find hidden insights
                        without the help of explicit programming. These insights bring tremendous benefits into many different domains.
                        For business users, in particular, these insights help organizations improve customer experience,
                        become more competitive, and respond much faster to opportunities or threats. The availability of very
                        powerful in-memory computing platforms, such as the open-source Apache Ignite (https://ignite.apache.org/),
                        means that more organizations can benefit from machine learning today.<br/><br/>

                        In this presentation, Denis will look at some of the main components of Apache Ignite, such as a
                        distributed database, distributed computations, and machine learning toolkit. Through examples,
                        attendees will learn how Apache Ignite can be used for data analysis.

                        Attendees will be introduced to the fundamental capabilities of in-memory computing platforms that boost
                        high-load applications and services, and bring existing IT architecture to the next level by storing
                        and processing a massive amount of data both in RAM and, optionally, on disk.<br/><br/>
                        The capabilities and benefits of such platforms will be demonstrated with the usage of Apache Ignite,
                        which is the in-memory computing platform that is durable, strongly consistent, and highly available with powerful SQL, key-value and processing APIs.

                        It is not enough to build a mesh of sensors or embedded devices to obtain more insights about the surrounding environment and
                        optimize your production systems. Usually, your IoT solution needs to be capable of transferring enormous amounts of data to
                        storage or the cloud where the data have to be processed further. Quite often, the processing of the endless streams of data has
                        to be done in real-time so that you can react on the IoT subsystem's state accordingly.<br/><br/>
                        This session will show attendees how to build a Fast Data solution that will receive endless streams from the
                        IoT side and will be capable of processing the streams in real-time using Apache Ignite's cluster resources. In particular, attendees will learn
                        about data streaming to an Apache Ignite cluster from embedded devices and real-time data processing with Apache Spark.

                        Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates the building of analytical models.
                        By using algorithms that iteratively learn from data, computers are able to find hidden insights without
                        the help of explicit programming. These insights bring tremendous benefits into many different domains.
                        For business users, in particular, these insights help organizations improve customer experience, become more competitive,
                        and respond much faster to opportunities or threats. The availability of very powerful in-memory computing platforms,
                        such as Apache Ignite, means that more organizations can benefit from machine learning today.<br/><br/>
                        In this presentation Denis will look at some of the main components of Apache Ignite, such as the Compute Grid,
                        Data Grid and the Machine Learning Grid. Through examples, attendees will learn how Apache Ignite can be used for data analysis.

                        So, you've built yourself a killer IoT application. You have connected all the things and they are all happily sending
                        over their packets of data faster than you can say "Big Blue". Now what? How do you architect a server architecture
                        that can support all the data flowing in and also be able to grow for the future?<br/><br/>
                        In this talk, Rachel will cover some of the architectural decisions you need to consider when choosing a data platform and discuss
                        how Apache Ignite can meet those requirements. Rachel will also cover other design options like NoSQL and Spark and how to deploy in the IBM cloud.

                    <p>
                        Attend this session to learn how to easily share state in-memory across multiple Spark jobs, either
                        within the same application or between different Spark applications using an implementation of the Spark RDD
                        abstraction provided in Apache Ignite. During the talk, attendees will learn in detail how IgniteRDD –
                        an implementation of native Spark RDD and DataFrame APIs – shares the state of the RDD across other Spark jobs,
                        applications and workers. Examples will show how IgniteRDD, with its advanced in-memory indexing capabilities,
                        allows execution of SQL queries many times faster than native Spark RDDs or Data Frames.

                        With the advances in IoT technology, the volume and the diversity of data to be analyzed has enormously increased,
                        and processing it with traditional disk-based technology has become more challenging. Therefore the number of data
                        analysis solutions using in-memory technology, such as Apache Ignite high-performance in-memory platform, has increased.
                    </p>

                        Quite often, the processing of the endless streams of data has to be done in real-time so that you can react on the IoT subsystem's state accordingly.
                        In this session, Akmal will show attendees how to build a Fast Data solution that will receive endless streams from the IoT
                        side and will be capable of processing the streams in real-time using Apache Ignite's cluster resources.

                        Apache Ignite is an open source memory-centric platform that combines a distributed SQL database with a Key-Value Data Grid that
                        is ACID-compliant and horizontally scalable. It enables high-performance transactions, real-time streaming, and fast analytics
                        in a single, comprehensive data access and processing layer.
                    </p>
                    <p>
                        In this webinar, attendees will learn about the many components of Apache  Ignite, including the Data Grid, Compute Grid,
                        distributed SQL database and the Machine Learning Grid. We will also cover a few typical use cases and work through some Java code examples.

                    <p>
                        Apache Ignite 2.0 is a turnkey release which blends a distributed in-memory SQL database (IMDB) and an in-memory key-value data
                        grid (IMDG) under one data management platform.  It is also a necessary stepping stone ahead of Ignite 2.1 release
                        which will be focused around the native disk persistence, allowing Ignite operate equally well in-memory and on-disk.

                        You will learn how the off-heap memory architecture in Ignite has been re-engineered to better
                        support SSD or Flash-based persistence. The new off-heap design uses a page-based approach with
                        slab memory allocation, which may be optionally mapped to a persistent storage as is, without
                        having to serialize or deserialize the data. The new architecture automatically handles memory
                        fragmentation, significantly accelerates SQL, and almost completely removes costly garbage
                        collection pauses.

                        You will also learn how to create and alter SQL indexes at runtime, as well as utilize DDL to
                        update distributed data sets using standard SQL syntax. We will also cover B+Tree data structures
                        used to store SQL indexes off-heap.

                        In-memory data grids bring exceptional performance and scalability gains to applications built on top of them.
                        The applications truly achieve 10x more performance improvement and become easily scalable and fault-tolerant
                        thanks to the unique data grids architecture. However, because of this particular architecture,
                        a majority of data grids have to sacrifice traditional SQL support requiring application developers to
                        completely rewrite their SQL-based code to support data grid specific APIs.

                        Is memory the new disk? If so, what does this mean for the future of database systems and persistence as we know it?
                        Will all our data(bases) still belong to us? Dani Traphagen explores the key paradigm shifts currently impacting those
                        Fortune 500 companies that view disk as a bottleneck. Dani explains how to optimize toward the cache, leveraging it for low-latency,
                        highly available microservices architectures with the hot-and-fresh-out-of-the-kitchen open source project Apache Ignite.

                        This major release was under the development for a long time. The community spent almost a year incorporating tremendous changes to the legacy Apache Ignite 1.x architecture.
                        Curious why are we so boastful about this? Some of the main features of Apache Ignite 2.0 are:

                    <p>
                        When systems that rely on microservices are used under high load or have to process rapidly growing volumes of data,
                        they usually face the same issues and difficulties as applications that are not microservices-based. Disk-backed databases become a
                        performance bottleneck as they can no longer keep up with growing volumes of data that have to be stored and processed in parallel.
                        This degrades application performance and ultimately causes instability.<br/>

                        This webinar discusses how in-memory computing using Apache® Ignite® can overcome the performance limitations
                        common to microservices architectures built using traditional database architectures.

                        In-memory computing frameworks and products rely on a simple horizontal scalability property - the more machines we have in a cluster the better the performance.
                        However, a reasonable question arises. If I add a second machine to the cluster will I get 2x improvement? If there are 10 machines in a cluster should I expect overall 10x performance increase?
                        Is it true and if, yes, if the guarantee meets all the time?
                        Join Yakov on his talk to get answers on these questions and learn more about scalability and concurrency concepts implemented in Apache Ignite In-Memory Data Fabric.

                        key-value storage and provides full-fledged SQL support. Denis will show how Apache Ignite handles auto-loading of SQL schema and data,
                        SQL indexes, compound indexes support, and various forms of SQL queries including distributed SQL joins.
                        It will be demonstrated how to connect to Apache Ignite from your favorite tool or application language using ODBC or JDBC driver and
                        start talking to a clustered data using familiar statements like SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE or INSERT.

                        In this presentation, Denis will introduce Apache Ignite SQL Grid component that combines the best of two worlds - performance and scalability of data grids and
                        traditional ANSI-99 SQL support of relational databases. Moreover, Denis will take an existing application that works with a relational database and
                        will show how to run it on top of Apache Ignite with minimum efforts.
