Editor’s Note: This presentation was given by Johannes Unterstein at GraphConnect Europe in May 2017.Presentation SummaryIn this talk, Johannes Unterstein walks you through the mechanics and advantages of using Apache Mesos and DC/OS (data center operating system) for hosting your Neo4j Causal Cluster.Unterstein starts by addressing the question of whether or not you even need a cluster (yes, you probably do). He then moves on to discuss how to keep data persisted through node failures, and how the best way to protect your data is through clusters of servers, including the Causal ... Read More

By Stephan Reiling, Senior Scientist, Novartis | June 20, 2018  Editor’s Note: This presentation was given by Stephan Reiling at GraphConnect San Francisco in October 2016.Presentation SummaryIn this talk, Senior Scientist Stephan Reiling describes some of the ways that a major pharmaceutical company conducts the search for medical compounds, and the significant role that graph database technology plays in that effort.The underlying problem is how to construct a system of scalable biological knowledge. This means not just connecting vast amounts of heterogeneous data, but enabling researchers to construct a query for a ... Read More

Feed: Neo4j Graph Database Platform. Author: Jocelyn Hoppa. By Jeff Morris, Product Team | June 18, 2018  From LinkedIn to Facebook to Google, top companies are driving their businesses using graphs. And use cases span industries as well.What those new to graph technology may not understand is that creating a graph does not require starting from scratch. Existing data stores, such as data lakes and relational databases, represent an onramp to graph analytics on your existing data.In this series, we’ll examine how investments in connected data return dividends for your bottom line – and beyond. In previous weeks, we’ve explored ... Read More
