The Ontology2 platform squares the circle between big data, low latency, and semantics by combining expressive reasoning, information retrieval and machine learning with Hadoop, Apache Spark and Solid State Drive backed cloud .

2. OUR PLATFORM
For organizations handling complex, heterogeneous, and big data from
a large number of sources, structured, unstructured and
semistructured.
We rapidly (in terms of computer time and configuration time)
combine, curate, and index your data, both in batch and in real-time.
Based on our experience with Freebase (the basis for the Google
Knowledge Graph), we combine Hadoop technology with SQL and
NoSQL databases on a next generation cloud technology;
Focus: quality, usability, cross-domain integration and inference,
standards-driven interoperability, open-source components

3. Current State as we understand it
Technical: Need for extreme agility
• High-quality, curated data is important
• Limited by MySQL speed/scalability (and slow schema changes because of row store)
• Difficulty of handling taxonomy/ontology/schema changes
• Dealing with data loss and broken inter-concept links caused by changes
• Difficulty of linking entity between silos; inability to infer accurate, high quality relationships
between collections
• Need for clean, normalized data for input to machine learning algorithms
• Need ability to manage spatial and temporal data
• To keep up with competition: It must be easy has to make changes, fast to implement changes
• Need for data typing beyond SQL (currency, length, time interval, etc.) to support inference and
user interfaces
• Infrastructure built ad-hoc is difficult to document, maintain, expand
Business Challenges
• To be discussed

4. Benefits from cloud-native Infovore™ platform
Index construction does not interfere
with user-facing real-time services
Development, Test and Staging do
not interfere with production
Batch Jobs Don’t Interfere with
Interactive Services

5. Next Generation Cloud
• Near Bare Metal Performance
Hardware
Virtualization
• Incredible Speed
• Predictable Response Time
SSD Drives
• Take advantage of competition between cloud
provider
• Use existing on premise capacity; control physical
security, flexible options
Hybrid cloud
