Join me for a webinar where I discuss how the recent changes and
trends in big data management effect the enterprise. This
event is sponsored by Red Rock and RockSolid.
Overview:
It is an exciting and interesting time to be involved in data.
More change of influence has occurred in the database management
in the last 18 months than has occurred in the last 18 years. New
technologies such as NoSQL & Hadoop and radical redesigns of
existing technologies, like NewSQL , will change dramatically how
we manage data moving forward.
These technologies bring with them possibilities both in terms of
the scale of data retained but also in how this data can be
utilized as an information asset. The ability to leverage Big
Data to …

[Read more]Often I think about challenges that organizations face with “Big Data”. While Big Data is a generic and over used term, what I am really referring to is an organizations ability to disseminate, understand and ultimately benefit from increasing volumes of data. It is almost without question that in the future customers will be won/lost, competitive advantage will be gained/forfeited and businesses will succeed/fail based on their ability to leverage their data assets.
It may be surprising what I think are the near term challenges. Largely I don’t think these are purely technical. There are enough wheels in motion now to almost guarantee that data accessibility will continue to improve at pace in-line with the increase in data volume. Sure, there will continue to be lots of interesting innovation with technology, but when organizations like …
[Read more]Reading yesterday that the NSA has submitted a proposal to Apache to incubate their Accumulo platform. This, according to the description, is a key/value store built over Hadoop which appears to provide similar function to HBase except it provides “cell level access labels” to allow fine grained access control. This is something you would expect as a requirement for many applications built at government agencies like the NSA. But this also is very important for organizations in health care and law enforcement etc where strict control is required to large volumes of privacy sensitive data.
An interesting part of this is how it highlights the acceptance of Hadoop. Hadoop is no longer just a new technology scratching at the …
[Read more]We don’t pay enough attention to Hadoop.
By “we” I mean DBAs, the rest of the world is paying plenty of attention to Hadoop. Recently, I started asking my customers and fellow DBAs about Hadoop adoption in their company. Turns out that many of them have Hadoop. Hadoop shows up in large companies and small ones, in established industries and in startups. Its everywhere.
The way Hadoop shows up in all companies, and the way DBAs don’t
pay Hadoop much attention, reminds me a lot of how MySQL started
showing up in the enterprise. It didn’t start by DBAs showing up
one morning and telling their managers:
“There’s this new open source database. Its not as stable as
Oracle and it doesn’t have all the features we need, but man –
its going to save us tons of money, and its pretty simple to
manage.”
Nope, this never happened. What happened instead is that developers learned about MySQL, and it seemed …
