Why the time has come for real-time computing

Businesses hoping to survive in today’s marketplace
should consider exchanging their old infrastructures
for real-time infrastructures (RTI), according to Jim
Groff, CEO at TimesTen, a Mountain View, Calif.-based
provider of real-time infrastructure software.

Groff, whose comments came on the heels of Gartner
Group remarks about the need for organizations to
favor alternatives to IT infrastructures that respond
too slowly to their needs, said businesses are moving
toward real-time infrastructures as demands for rapid
response, high scalability, and continuous
availability become paramount.
