Big Data


EMC Dating, Big Data: Big Opportunities to Create Business Value.


“Data growth is a factor that
everybody is trying to deal with.
We’re seeing tremendous growth in
the size of data, year on year, as I
think everyone is. Finding effective
approaches for containing cost
so that it doesn’t run away with
your budget is an issue. Another
major challenge is dealing with
unstructured data. How do you
manage that data effectively? How do
you control its growth? And how do
you actually make that data part of
the information fabric that people can
draw upon to make decisions or look
at information?”
—Rich Aducci, Boston Scientific

“It’s more than a technology shift. There has to be a mindset shift about what you can do with data. For years, what CIOs had to deal with is managing information. It was all about managing information efficiently: how much can you compress it, de-dupe it, take snapshots and act upon it. Planning for big data extends that efficiency so you can do more with that data very quickly. The classic IT organizations are used to data warehousing, business intelligence where data is updated once, twice, maybe four times a month. Now we’re at the point where you’ve got access to everything all the time through real and uptime data.”
—Sanjay Mirchandani, EMC

“Every vendor wants to bundle everything and provide a one-stop shop. This makes sense, and I don’t have a problem with that, as long the vendor doesn’t lock me in into a specific solution. And I think the only way that this can be avoided is if the vendor follows industry standards. We’ve moved into a world where standards prevail, especially in big data analytics, where data originate from multiple sources. Vendors that provide standard-based big data solutions are much more likely to be preferred.”
