Posted in Business | April 27, 2022 4 min read Modern businesses have vast amounts of data at their fingertips and are acutely aware of how enterprise data strategies positively impact business outcomes. Despite this, only a handful of organisations interact with all stages of the data life cycle process to truly distill information that distinguishes future-ready businesses from the rest. Much potential remains untapped when businesses do not translate their data into actionable insights from the point it is created, eroding the usefulness of data over time.  One of the ways to accelerate ...

The observatory launched Dec. 25 2021 on a mission to look at the early universe, at exoplanets, and at other objects of celestial interest. But first it must pass a rigorous, months-long commissioning period to make sure that the data will get back to Earth properly. Mission ... Read More

Modern, real-time businesses require accelerated cycles of innovation that are expensive and difficult to maintain with legacy data platforms. Cloud technologies and respective service providers have evolved solutions to address these challenges.  The hybrid cloud’s premise—two data architectures fused together—gives companies options to leverage those solutions and to address decision-making criteria, on a case-by-case basis.  But how did the hybrid cloud come to dominate the data sector?   1960s Just like ...

Many are deprived of early childhood chances at experiencing the professional world, so a career in science, finance, IT, or marketing is a pipe dream.  Unless someone shows them it’s possible. At the Middle Tennessee and Peninsula chapters of the Boys & Girls Clubs, high school students are receiving an introduction into a new world of possibilities. A partnership with Cloudera is exposing students to careers in ... Read More

Imagine if you had to explain what machine learning is and how to use it. There’s no need to panic. Cloudera produced a series of ebooks — Production Machine Learning For Dummies, Apache NiFi For Dummies, and Apache Flink For Dummies (coming soon) — to help simplify even the ... Read More

To pull ahead of the pack, a company needs to know what to do with its data. Without a data-driven strategy, you’re bound to lose ground to competitors who apply their data to operational improvements, product development, go-to-market strategies, and the customer experience. It isn’t enough to collect, interpret, and act on the data. You have to do it fast. The quicker a company can draw insights and act on them, the better it can respond ... Read More

The Olympics doesn’t reward slow times in swimming, track or any other clock-timed sport. Likewise, slow data speeds don’t win over customers or colleagues in the real-time business world. Microsoft’s own research once reported that a person visiting a website on a connected device is likely to wait no more than 10 seconds to see it before moving to a competitor’s site. Actually, that metric has dropped to three seconds since that study was ... Read More

But it requires you to live on the edge. That’s where you find the ability to empower IoT devices to respond to events in real time by capturing and analyzing the relevant data. Edge computing relies on squeezing the power and functionality of a data center into a micro site as close to data sources as possible to enable real-time tasks. Whether the task involves self-driving ... Read More

Posted in Business | September 01, 2021 4 min read The more an enterprise wants to know about itself and its business prospects, the more data it needs to collect and analyze. Additionally, the more data it collects and stores, the better its ability to know customers, to find new ones, and to provide more of what they want to buy. Sounds simple, but a surprising majority of U.S. companies (about two-thirds, according to CIO.com) are only now getting tuned in to become fully functioning data-driven enterprises by starting new initiatives, scaling up systems, ...
