MIKE STONEBRAKER: Hi. I'm Mike Stonebraker. I'm on the faculty at MIT in CSAIL where I've been for 20 years. And today, all I want to do is convince you to go to our table and look at the real demo. So what we do is we visualize real-time data at scale. Next slide.

Next slide, please. Oh, I have the clicker. OK. So all I want to do is give you a quick example.

This turns out to be from a customer in Brazil. And this is the dashboard you guys have seen a lot of. You've seen one already in this session. And it's a whole bunch of stuff.

You can code these in Tableau or Spotfire. I apologize if you squint closely the text is in Portuguese, because this is a Brazilian customer. This in fact is from a company called IBBX in Rio de Janeiro. They market vibration sensors.

And machinery by the way tends to vibrate right before it fails. So lots of people buy vibration sensors as an early warning system. However, IBBX and one of their big customers said, gee, most of our people don't want this detailed in the weeds view. So what we built for them is a different dashboard.

This is a map of Brazil with the 58 factories of one of their customers color coded by how the factory is doing. You see that there are some yellows and some reds. You can pan. You can zoom.

And if you zoom, what happens is you go into an individual factory, completely different canvas, not geographic anymore. But a floor plan-- you see that there's an offending machine. So you can drill into that.

You can see the time series of the vibrations which are hitting an inflection point right where the red arrow is. So this is a pan and Zoom interface for any kind of data. Now, I'm a huge fan of Google Maps the only problem with Google Maps is that it only does geography. And if you're like Airbnb and all you want to do is drop your data onto a Google map, by all means, use Google Maps.

If you have floorplans, if you want to zoom in to scatter plots, if you want to pan and scatter plots, we can do all of that stuff. So think of this as Google Maps on steroids.

And our objective is only to get you to see real-- real demos, to see what this system can do. So at scale the problem with the IBBX customer is that 5,000 sensors times data that they're collecting at the millisecond granularity is just an enormous ton of real-time data. So we are all drowning in real-time data. And this gives you a way to look at it in real time.

So come to the table. Thank you very much.
