With businesses demanding faster and easy access to information in order to make reliable and smart decisions, In-memory processing is an emerging technology that is gaining attention. It enables users to have immediate access to right information which results in more informed decisions. Traditional [[Business Intelligence]] (BI) technology loads data onto the disk in the form of tables and multi-dimensional cubes against which queries are run. Using In-memory data is loaded into memory ([[Random Access Memory]] (RAM) or [[flash memory]]) instead of hard disks and therefore information technology (IT) staff spends less development time on [[data modeling]], query analysis, cube building and table design.<ref>{{cite book|last=Earls|first=A|title=Tips on evaluating, deploying and managing in-memory analytics tools|year=2011|publisher=Tableau|url=http://www.analyticsearches.com/site/files/776/66977/259607/579091/In-Memory_Analytics_11.10.11.pdf}}</ref>
