Flawed logic

The article talks about the use of the NVMe drives for doing just in time analytics. Their example of a recommender engine is a poor example.

Recommender engines will be based on batch jobs which will run off peak local to the user and then be used for the next 'day'. Note for global companies night/day become relative. Recommender engines to not need to provide near real time calculations, only the ability to retrieve the calculated value which does not need to be precise.

More unnecessary hype where the plain facts are enough to say that these will be disruptive in terms of overall IT performance.
