Real time in our time: Honing the Big Data end game | #emcworld
Data scientists are aggregating information from all new and unthought-of sources all the time these days. From geospatial imaging, to social feeds, to your shopping bill — they are going over the universe of available information with a finetooth comb. What does it all mean? What value are businesses and consumers going to get out of all this data, anyway?
Keith Manthey, CTO of EMC’s Emerging Technology Division, said that one major goal for his customers is real-time feeds and streams culled from vast data stores.
“Where we’re seeing the investment is in going closer to real time,” he told Dave Vellante (@dvellante), cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team. He said that customers need all the data they have — no matter its age, type or apparent relevance — to distill into real-time insights. “You need to aggregate that up and then you need just a minuscule amount for that real time,” he explained.
He said customers want to know how to take all that together to make meaningful, real time, at-that-exact-moment decisions. Customers are hungry for instantaneous intelligence from data, but “instantaneous means a lot of compute to get there,” said Manthey.
Big Data, big platform
So the real-time insights that everybody wants require Big Data, and Big Data require big platforms to sort, wrangle and operate on it. “When we put out our first release, the Hortonworks Data Platform, it was much smaller in terms of what it is today,” said Scott Andress, RVP of channels and alliances at Hortonworks, Inc., who also sat in on the interview with theCUBE.
According to Andress, the complexity of data stores and the technology needed to utilize it continues to grow, and it is incumbent on Hortonworks to help its customers navigate that complexity toward the goal of workable business solutions. “That’s what customers are driving for. They want to be able to run the right solution for the right workload,” he said.
