ScaleOut Software provides an in-memory data grid that primarily provides fast reads/writes for high-speed operational applications, such as e-commerce, reservation systems, credit card processing, equity trading, smart grids, and cable network streaming. There are a lot of competitors in the space, such as Oracle Coherence, but ScaleOut and Apache Spark differentiates itself by supporting analytics on live, operational data, among other things.
ScaleOut Software resides at the bleeding edge of the convergence between operational and analytical applications. With ScaleOut, analysts no longer have to wait until operational data is moved to an operational data store or data warehouse; they can analyze the data in place as it is changing. ScaleOut also has a product that runs on Hadoop and executes MapReduce code, but on live data at 20 times the speed of regular MapReduce. With 400 customers, ScaleOut is a company to watch in the emerging "operational intelligence" market.
