The Briefing Room with Robin Bloor and Teradata
Live Webcast on Jan. 29, 2013
Despite its name, effective Data Science requires a certain amount of artistic flair. Analysts must be creative about how and where they find the insights that will drive business value. One classic roadblock to that kind of frictionless process? Programming. Not everyone can code Java, which makes the unstructured domain of Hadoop quite challenging for the average business analyst.
Check out the slides from this episode of the Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor explain how a new generation of analytical platforms will solve the complexity of unifying structured and unstructured data. He'll be briefed by Steve Wooledge of Teradata Aster who will tout his company's Big Data Appliance, which leverages the SQL-H bridge, an innovation designed to connect Hadoop with SQL.

50. Big Data Is About Analytics
DATA AIN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE
Machine generated data (logs)
Web data
Social media data
Public data services
Supply chain data
Real-time data flows
THE ANALOGY OF STRIP-MINING IS
RELEVANT BECAUSE THE SCALE OF DATA
ANALYTICS HAS EXPANDED DRAMATICALLY
The Bloor Group
52. What Hadoop Is NOT
A MULTIUSER HIGHLY
TUNED ENGINE
AN ANALYTICS
PLATFORM
A SOLUTION
But it IS:
A USEFUL, FLEXIBLE
AND VERY ECONOMIC
DATA STORE – WITH
PLUG-INS The Bloor Group
53. About Data Analytics
It is all about TIME TO INSIGHT – as long as that
is followed by action
Fast time to insight requires FLEXIBLE
management of high performance data flows -
for the benefit of the data analyst
The data analyst needs to be able to
MARSHAL the data
Then maybe, just maybe, he will deserve the
title of DATA SCIENTIST
The Bloor Group
54. Clearly the Teradata Aster Big Analytics Appliance is a
powerful data flow engine, so:
! How does Aster Data achieve its performance
lift with MapReduce?
! How is it most usually deployed?
! Can it do data cleansing in flight?
! Can it perform analytic tasks?
The Bloor Group
55. ! Why an appliance? What is gained and what is
sacrificed?
! Which sectors/businesses do you expect to be
able to make best use of this technology?
! Which companies/products do you regard as
competitors (either direct or near)?
! Which companies/products do you partner with?
! How does the appliance fit in the cloud?
