Hekaton

Hekaton, also known as SQL Server In-Memory OLTP, is a technology that improves database performance by storing and processing data directly in memory rather than on traditional disk storage. This allows for faster data access and transaction processing, especially in high-demand applications. Hekaton achieves this by creating specialized tables and structures optimized for in-memory operations, reducing the latency and overhead associated with disk I/O. It is designed to boost the speed of transactions and queries without sacrificing data integrity or reliability, making it ideal for applications requiring real-time data processing and high throughput.
