NewSQL databases are the future of Big Data, as they bring together the best of SQL and NoSQL.

There is no doubt that they will have a huge impact on every data-intensive industry, and banking and insurance will be no exception.

What are the innovations behind NewSQL databases? How will this new technology change the data architecture of banking and insurance companies? What has been the outcome when NewSQL has already been applied to the industry?

In this webinar we will answer these questions with Patrick Valduriez, one of the world's leading database researchers; Ricardo Jiménez, former researcher and CEO of LeanXcale; and Alejandro Morales, analyst at Penteo.

- What is NewSQL?

We will talk about main trends in Distributed databases, SQL and ACID transactions, NoSQL and relaxed consistency, and NewSQL and HTAP.

- How to accelerate data pipelines with NewSQL?

We will show how a NewSQL database can be used to greatly accelerate data pipelines, simplify data architecture and reduce TCO.

- CESCE success story

We will explain how CESCE, world’s 4th largest credit and surety company, has accelerated its data processing from two months to less than six hours using NewSQL.
