Feed: R-bloggers. Author: The Exactness of Mind. The visualization of complex datasets is of essential importance in communicating your data products.Beyond pie charts, histograms, line graphs and other common forms ofvisual communication begins the reign of data sets that encompass toomuch information to be easily captured by these simple data displays. Atypical context that abounds with complexity is found in the areas oftext mining, natural language processing, and cognitive computing ingeneral; such a complex context for datapresentation is pervasive in an attempt to build a visual interface forproducts like semantic search engines or recommendation engines. Forexample, statistical models like LDA ... Read More

Feed: Clustrix Blog. Author: Dave Anselmi. ClustrixDB is a MySQL-compatible ACID RDBMS that linearly scales out both writes and reads. Clustrix has created many architectural innovations over the years that have made this possible. This week we will focus on one of these innovations, the ClustrixDB Rebalancer, that automatically distributes and balances data across nodes while ensuring high availability. Before we go into the details, let’s put this into context. With last week’s blog, we started exploring how ClustrixDB accomplishes horizontal scaling of both writes and reads without sharding. Why is this important? Because other MySQL scaling strategies have challenges with ... Read More

Feed: Google Cloud Big Data and Machine Learning Blog. Author: Google Cloud Big Data and Machine Learning Blog Team. Innovation in data processing and machine learning technology Friday, July 28, 2017 By Reza Rokni, Solutions Architect A common pattern in banking, media and life sciences is the running of “embarrassingly parallel” workloads. In these environments, a large number of compute nodes form a cluster, with nodes independently carrying out processing tasks. In this post, I’ll explain how Google Cloud Dataflow, used in conjunction with other Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, can unlock these workloads for Google Cloud customers. As these ...

Feed: What's New. Amazon Inspector assessments can be triggered by any CloudWatch Event. You can set up a recurring Schedule event with either a simple fixed recurring rate or a more detailed Cron expression, or create an event pattern which monitors other AWS services for actions to trigger an assessment. For example, you can create an event which monitors AWS Auto Scaling for new EC2 Instances being launched, or monitors AWS CodeDeploy notifications for when a code deployment has been successfully completed. Once CloudWatch Events have been configured against Amazon Inspector templates, these assessment events will be displayed in the ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Christina Compy. We are happy to announce an upgrade to the App Service Environment. The App Service Environment (ASE) is a powerful feature offering of the Azure App Service that gives network isolation and improved scale capabilities. It is essentially a deployment of the Azure App Service into a subnet of a customer’s Azure Virtual Network (VNet). While the feature gave customers what they were looking for in terms of network control and isolation, it was not as “PaaS like” as the App Service was normally. We took the feedback to heart and for ASEv2 then we ... Read More

Feed: MemSQL Blog. Author: Carl Sverre. One of the main themes at DockerCon 2017 was the challenge of migrating legacy applications to containers. At MemSQL, we’re early adopters. We are already into our third year of running Docker at scale in production for our distributed software testing regime, where the performance, isolation, and cost benefits of containers are very attractive. The Challenge Before I take you through our journey to containers, let me start by outlining some of the general challenges of testing a distributed database like MemSQL. Our solutions are built for real-time data warehousing. Databases are really difficult ... Read More

It allows you to leverage your existing skills by supporting an increasing array of languages, frameworks, and popular OSS, and has built-in capabilities ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Corey Sanders. Containers have fundamentally changed the way developers develop their applications, the way applications are deployed, and the way system administrators manage their environments. Containers offer a broadly accepted and open standard, enabling simple portability between platforms and between clouds. Today, I am extremely excited to announce a new Azure service that makes it even easier to deploy containers. The very first service of its kind in the cloud, Azure Container Instances (ACI) is a new Azure service delivering containers with great simplicity and speed and without any Virtual Machine infrastructure to manage. ACIs ... Read More

Blog > Postby Paul Dix (guest author), 20 July 2017Tags: InfluxDB, Time Series DMBSIn the middle of the big data hype cycle, before IoT was on the top of everyone’s buzz list, before Cloud Native was common lingo and before large enterprises were starting the work to de-silo their infrastructure monitoring and metrics data, Paul Dix, Founder of InfluxData, began building a purpose-built Time Series Platform. Flash forward to today, time series is now the fastest growing database segment, and the market is clearly moving beyond the re-purposed Cassandra and Hbase implementations that defined ... Read More
