This 5-minute Lightning talk was given to attendees at the first NOSQL Now! conference held in san Jose, Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Speaker: Darren Wood, Chief Architect, InfiniteGraph.
Relationships and connections are EVERYWHERE. Examples include CRM, Telecom, Intelligence, Research, Healthcare, Finance and yes, social networks too. But notice, it’s absolutely not just about social networks, in the Facebook sense. ANY application that needs to find connections and relationships separated by more than 2 degrees, is a good candidate for InfiniteGraph.
InfiniteGraph (built on Objectivity/DB) is optimized for high speed traversal of complex relationships. Compared to traditional technologies, we return results faster by several orders of magnitude, and performance will not degrade or suddenly drop-off.
