Virtual training is a training method in which a simulated virtual environment is created to test certain abilities of a trainee that can contribute to the learning process. It is widely applicable in-flight simulation, simulationbased gaming, serious games, healthcare training, energy, transportation training, e-learning, military & navy, digital manufacturing, and others. The significant impacting factors include increase in awareness about virtual training and simulation, costeffective benefits of virtual training and simulation technology, and rise in defense, healthcare, and education expenditure. In few regions such as Africa, people are willing to adopt the technology, but lack of infrastructure and availability of solutions resist them to do so. This negatively impacts the market. Moreover, absence of novelty in products may lead to loss of interest of consumers in outdated technology and would stick to the existing one, rather than buying another one. Thus, lack of investments in R&D is projected to impact negatively on the virtual training and simulation market. Advancements in virtual training and simulation technology positively affects the market growth and is expected to continue this in the near future.

Adoption of in-memory computing, also known as IMC, is on the rise. This can be attributed to the growing demand for faster processing and analytics on big data, the need for simplifying architecture as the number of various data sources increases, and technology enhancements that are optimizing their Total Cost of Ownership. In-memory computing, fundamentally comprises of RAM storage and parallel distributed processing. The adoption, however, is dependent on how businesses understand the value it can add, such as, Usage of less hardware to support the required performance, to reduce the upfront capital costs and Lifetime extension for the hardware and software via increased performance. Further, the demand to process huge and growing datasets in real-time are acting as catalyst towards the in-memory computing middleware adoption. Over the past several years, companies across a broad range of industries have been observed commencing adoption of in-memory computing platforms to achieve the application performance and scalability they need to achieve their digital transformation or omnichannel customer experience. Some of the use cases are in banking and financial services, retail, healthcare, to name a few. For instance, the BFSI sector deploys the in-memory computing to facilitate smooth investment banking transactions, insurance claim processing & modelling, among others. Risk and Asset Management firms used the technology to gain an understanding on range and probabilities of probable investment outcomes through complex simulations.
