Facilitating real-time business insights with enhanced data querying
Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation. These features facilitate querying data with multiple keys rather than just a single key. Its real-time data processing capabilities provide insights for business decisions with up-to-date information.

"VMware Tanzu Data Solutions has positively impacted my organization because it is efficient, easy, fast, and aids in the creation and administration of web servers."
