Realtidslagring

Realtidslagring, also known as real-time storage, refers to data storage systems designed to handle and provide access to information with extremely low latency. This means that data can be written to and read from the storage with minimal delay, often in milliseconds or even microseconds. The primary goal of real-time storage is to support applications that require immediate data availability and processing.

Such systems are crucial for a variety of demanding use cases. Financial trading platforms, for instance, rely on real-time storage to execute trades instantly based on rapidly changing market data. In telecommunications, network monitoring and management systems use it to detect and respond to network events as they happen. Industrial automation and control systems also leverage real-time storage for immediate feedback and control of machinery and processes.

The architecture of real-time storage solutions often involves high-performance hardware, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) or NVMe storage, coupled with optimized software and network infrastructure. Techniques like in-memory computing, where data is stored and processed directly in RAM, are also frequently employed to achieve the necessary speed. Data consistency and durability are still important considerations, but they are often balanced against the need for speed, sometimes employing specialized techniques to ensure both.
