Bitcoin is a signal of a new way to use technology in a always on connected world - emerging value will find a home no one thought paypal was going to be popular..
Are data scientists necessary to realize the data economy vision? Are they a gate? Can users become data savvy without needing a deep data science conduit
Someone has to know what to do with the results. If you had access to a personal home x-Ray machine, you would still need to be a radiologist to make sense of it.
I think that there are some basics associated with the definition of an economy/marketplace that are important... instruments, fluidity, exchange, and bookkeeper... critical imo we need the #NYSE for #dataeconomy to grow
#dataeconomy Data scientists are critical, but we can't train enough to keep up w demand. Tooling that brings some of #BigData analytics to the everyman is needed like spreadsheets did to # crunching that used to be reserved for accountants
potentially. as more analytics-infused applications, users' domain knowledge becomes more important than knowing how to write algorithms. for now, though, most enterprises need someone with data science skill
Data science is critical but more importantly to tell a clear story on the data you need knowledge workers to be the new data science users - democratization of data - oppty to make it easy is a companies oppty #bigdata
IMO it's not just the scientists that will help. It's the workerbee users that will be vital to the success of how the data is leveraged into something valuable for their organization
Dan Hushon yep, but even when common people need to use scientific method. bad results may be more common than good ones and can you prove the difference?
If you mean that in the same way that a good DBA is necessary to get the most out your DB's, then they are absolutely necessary. Users can become savvy as the tools to do so evolve, much like the ability to now create your own webpage.
John Furrier of course you know I'm kidding they are the best in the valley in top 3 in my mind - they know about CrowdChat @reidhoffman signed up - great firm with big enterprise focus that is solid
@StorageDavidV i agree throwing flash makes everything faster - but thats not the end game nor sustainable. It has to be affordable, manageable and able to scale.
Karla Magana Renoud Agree! Flash is not the ONE solution for storage, you need to establish your business objective/need and evaluate the best approach.
Easy w/ automatic migration tools (Easy Tier), it only moves highly frequently used data to high performance storage like flash,storing the rest on less $$ devices
A lot of infrastructure conversations... how is risk (security, privacy, provenance) better managed to enable the data economy? and how risky are closed information environments? #unlockdatavalue
great question - with new analytics capabilities you can infer a lot about someone - e.g. race, religion, political persuasion...doubt organizations can self-police
yes - #BigData becomes exponentially more valuable as you combine data sources -analysis of transactional data + social data for example provides more value than either data source alone
Chris Saul Given density and low (or zero) power consumption, this is clearly a direction. We're not there yet and there are some longevity issues but we will get there for sure.
Hans De Leenheer your question does make sense! as silicon requires a lot less power comsumption it could make sense looking at high deduplication on silicon instead of spinning rust for long term. Comparing to a non-random-io model (tape) is not a question IMO
Hans De Leenheer in this there is a diff between long term retention for search and restore or archival for never-to-retrieve again. last part can be done on tape :D
HUGE, enables access to entire pools / lakes / oceans / rivers of new data to cross correlate and integrate with traditional stores. Tie it with Cloud, and it's easy to capture as well, reducing integration challenge.
Using IBM FlashSystem a client deployed new apps linked to their banking services including a CRM-style application that helps in-branch tellers understand the complete relationship with the customer
