Follow the Money: Big Data ROI and Inline Analytics

Wikibon conducted in-depth interviews with organizations that had achieved Big Data success and high rates of returns. These interviews determined an important generality: that Big Data winners focused on operationalizing and automating their Big Data projects. They used Inline Analytics to drive algorithms that directly connected to and facilitated automatic change in the operational systems-of-record. These algorithms were usually developed and supported by data tables derived using Deep Data Analytics from Big Data Hadoop systems and/or data warehouses. Instead of focusing on enlightening the few with pretty historical graphs, successful players focused on changing the operational systems for everybody and managed the feedback and improvement process from the company as a whole.

In-Memory Databases Put the Action in Actionable Insights

In order to derive business value from Big Data, practitioners must have the means to quickly (as in sub-milliseconds) analyze data, derive actionable insights from that analysis, and execute the recommended actions. While Hadoop is ideal for storing and processing large volumes of data affordably, it is less suited to this type of real-time operational analytics, or Inline Analytics. For these types of workloads, a different style of computing is required. The answer is in-memory databases.

Applications Moderization – Adapting and Embracing Change to drive Financial and Service Efficiencies

Enterprise Strategy Group: “Transforming the Enterprise with a Dynamic IT Infrastructure”

Imagine an environment where business decisions drive application choices of policy, with no regard for infrastucture, where best practives are implemented based soley on business requirements - and a "guaranteed service level" means just that. The IT of the future will be an elaborate business operation unencumbered by past technology decisions, one capable of providing exact service levels to multiple constituencies while continually optimizing costs. In this environment, IT will evolve into an even more valuable "weapon" for the business, with the ability to react quickly and cost-effectively, to deliver seamless user experience and become a true digital enterprise that leverages digital technology as a competitive advantage.

Converged Data Protection – HP StoreOnce Recovery Manager Central

Protecting your business-critical applications without impacting performance is proving ever more challenging in the face of unrelenting data growth, stringent recovery service level agreements (SLAs) and increasingly virtualized environments. Traditional approaches to data protection are unable to cost-effectively deliver the end-to-end availability and protection that your applications and hypervisors demand. A faster, easier, more efficient, and reliable way to protect data is needed.

Choose the Right Compute – 6 Steps for Investing in the Right Server to Enable Your Organization

The auto industry designs a variety of vehicles. Trucks for freight; buses for people; vans for taking kids to school; sports cars for speed; luxury cars for comfort; and compact cars for economy. You choose a vehicle based on your need; if you need a truck and buy a sports car, you won’t achieve goals. The same is true for servers. This paper highlights the steps you should take in order to drive innovation and transform the server to be the enabler you need to realize the business outcomes you desire.

Development Testing For Java Applications

Learn how the Coverity Development Testing Platform can be used in conjunction with open source solutions to help you fix more of the quality and security issues in your Java code that matter, with your existing resources and a unified process across the enterprise.

Development Testing for C# Applications

Static analysis shouldn’t be about finding loads of coding style or standard issues. It should be focused on finding the most critical defects. Although traditional byte code analysis solutions such as FxCop are useful, they can miss critical, crash causing defects - plus produce a large set of coding style issues, which can slow down the development team. Learn how the Coverity Development Testing Platform can help you:

• Find and fix resource leaks, concurrency problems and null references within Visual Studio

• Eliminate defects such as inconsistent indention issues and copy paste errors that can only be found by understanding the intent of the programmer through source code analysis

• Understand the impact of change to better prioritize and focus your automated testing efforts
