The trending news in the industry is that light pulses will now be used to transmit information. Thanks to IBM's latest technological breakthrough, certain limitations with big data might be a thing of the past. Currently, information transmission is via electrical signals. This breakthrough changes all that.The benefits of this breakthrough are many. Top among them are the movement of big data at the speed of light. Using a traffic analogy, if data sent via electrical signals are the equivalent of a tiny track, pulses of light on a chip are the equivalent of a super highway.
What does this mean for large volumes of data? It means we are about to say goodbye to congested data traffic. In addition, this will also cut down the high costs usually associated with traditional interconnects. To the business owner, it means that insights can be gleaned much faster than possible at the moment all at a cost that is far lower than it takes today. Read more on this here...
