• We are proud to announce our book "In-Memory Data Management: An Inflection Point for Enterprise Applications" by Prof. Hasso Plattner and Alexander Zeier. This book is the culmination of five years worth of in-memory research. As such, it provides the technical foundation for combined transactional and analytical workloads inside the same database as well as examples of new applications that are now possible given the availability of the new technology. We have received numerous encouraging quotes by leaders from both academia and industry. The book is available at Amazon now. A brief summary of the book's contents can be found here.
