Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. Data in every organization is growing in volume and complexity faster than ever. However, only a fraction of this invaluable asset is available for analysis. Traditional on-premises MPP data warehouses such as Teradata, IBM Netezza, Greenplum, and Vertica have rigid architectures that do not scale for modern big data analytics use cases. These traditional data warehouses are expensive to set up and operate, and require large upfront investments in both software and hardware. They cannot support modern use cases such as real-time or predictive analytics and applications that need advanced machine learning and personalized experiences.Amazon ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Melanie Carey. How have healthcare providers and governmental agencies predicted the fast-changing, potentially exponential increase in the need for medical services and equipment through the various stages of the COVID-19 pandemic? Mathematical techniques that attempt to model and understand the likely spread of the disease have been instrumental. The SEIR model is a compartment model that uses a mathematical and statistical approach to model the spread of an infectious disease within a population.

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. A typical database-oriented application setup only must work with single operation SQL or RESTful execution. Your customers might only be sending the INSERT or UPDATE queries one at a time. We have covered this approach in part 2 for our series and have created a simple RESTful API that allows users to perform CRUD operations on a PostgreSQL database. More advanced and high-velocity solutions require an efficient solution that can handle thousands of database operations per second, per client. Bulk or batch operations make sense when you are handling loads of data from a single origin—say, IoT or ...
