1. A system for processing business operations transactions and associated augmented customer data, the system comprising:

  • a plurality of computer servers interconnected with a software defined network (SDN) via a plurality of network switches, controllers, and network interfaces, and configured to;

    implement commodity hardware for economy measured by ownership cost, andperform computation and store data within a computer grid;

    direct attached storage (DAS) comprising just a bunch of disks (JBOD) configured for storage economy measured in total cost of ownership;

    random access memory (RAM) coupled to the DAS to provide storage capacity for the plurality of computer servers;

    a central processing unit (CPU);

    a co-processor coupled to the CPU to provide computation capacity for the plurality of computer servers; and

    a stream processor that comprises a plurality of message brokers (MB) hosted on a front office cluster and a back office cluster, and a plurality of complex event processors (CEP) configured for resilient high-throughput-low-latency data processing, the stream processor configured to;

    ingest a first set of messages through a portion of the plurality of MBs hosted on the front office cluster,process, with lower latency, the first set of messages using the RAM,ingest a second set of messages through an additional portion of the plurality of MBs hosted on the back office cluster, andprocess, with higher latency, the second set of messages using the DAS;

    wherein the SDN is configured to connect to an external computer network (ECN) for external client input and output.
