OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu Laboratories Limited announced the development of high-speed data processing technology that enables the timely utilization of big data, which is ever-expanding on account of such sources as social media. This development opens up new potential applications for e-commerce and other businesses.

Fujitsu Laboratories has tackled the problem of conducting real-time analysis of huge volumes of data, increasing overall system speed by a factor of five. Servers may be constantly becoming more technically advanced, but real-time analysis of big data has remained problematic without system-wide performance improvements. Fujitsu Laboratories' insight was to closely link data-analysis software running on a server and the data-management software that handles the data-storage process, then to vary the volume of data being processed at any one time in response to the frequency of processing requests from the data-analysis side. The result is the ability to execute quick analysis even when there is a sharp increase in server access.

An example of a real-world application of this technology could be the distribution of information to multiple users on a moving train. Based on the train's location obtained from the locational information on the mobile devices of the train's passengers, this technology could quickly offer any number of users information that they would find useful, such as a list of nearby shops or restaurants that have been trending for the past several minutes.
