Rittman Mead BI Forum 2014: Day 2

The second day of this year's installation of Rittman Mead's BI Forum in Brighton saw some impressive content and brilliant presentation. These speakers kept the audience engaged.

Emiel van Bockel showed how you can achieve sub-second response times for thousands of concurrent users querying against hundreds of millions of rows in just two years and with just one Exalytics box.

Oracle's Chris Jenkins took the crowd for a deep dive into TimesTen for Exalytics.

Robin Moffatt told us there are no silver bullets but a lot of golden rules when it comes to measuring and optimizing OBIEE Performance in the real world.

Coming soon to a screen near you: The Oracle BI Cloud. Adam Bloom of Oracle did a "behind the scenes" talk about this soon-to-be addition to the Oracle Cloud.

Following 15 minute TED-style talks and some refreshements, Andrew Bond and Stewart Bryson closed the day with a presentation on Big Data architecture for the enterprise.

As is customary for Rittman Mead events, delegates enjoyed a gala dinner. The location was - interestingly enough - St Georges Church in Brighton.
