9 more companies putting a cloud spin on big data

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:08:36 +0100

9 more companies putting a cloud spin on big data:

One of the themes of our upcoming Structure:Data conference is “putting big data to work,” and there’s no easier way to get started doing so than with a cloud service. You don’t have to buy hardware, you don’t have to manage systems and, in some cases, you don’t need to know the first thing about Hadoop. In September, I profiled six companies doing big data in the cloud, and here are nine more. They’re not providing cloud-based applications (e.g., anti-malware services or site-optimization) that happen to use big data techniques on the backend; these companies providing access to big data resources or analytics engines from which customers can draw their own conclusions.

What the heck are you actually using NoSQL for ?

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:03:30 +0100

What the heck are you actually using NoSQL for ?:

It’s a truism that we should choose the right tool for the job. Everyone says that. And who can disagree? The problem is this is not helpful advice without being able to answer more specific questions like: What jobs are the tools good at? Will they work on jobs like mine? Is it worth the risk to try something new when all my people know something else and we have a deadline to meet? How can I make all the tools work together? In the NoSQL space this kind of real-world data is still a bit vague. When asked, vendors tend to give very general answers like NoSQL is good for BigData or key-value access. What does that mean for for the developer in the trenches faced with the task of solving a specific problem and there are a dozen confusing choices and no obvious winner? Not a lot. It’s often hard to take that next step and imagine how their specific problems could be solved in a way that’s worth taking the trouble and risk. Let’s change that. What problems are you using NoSQL to solve? Which product are you using? How is it helping you? Yes, this is part the research for my webinar on December 14th, but I’m a huge believer that people learn best by example, so if we can come up with real specific examples I think that will really help people visualize how they can make the best use of all these new product choices in their own systems.

Why Everyone Is Talking About Node

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:19:47 +0100

Why Everyone Is Talking About Node:

On the 20th floor of a San Francisco skyscraper, a handful of developers are working on a new technology that’s changing the way real-time web apps are built and how they scale. This technology, called Node.js, is being hailed as “the new Ruby on Rails” by some in the developer community. But it’s not a magic bullet, nor is it appropriate for all programming scenarios. Joyent, an SF-based cloud software company, is sponsoring the growth and development of Node. It employs Node creator Ryan Dahl, hosts events and creates tools for the growing Node community. Recently, Mashable visited Joyent to see demos from three startups that are using Node to build web and mobile apps for consumers. In the process, we learned a lot about how and why Node works for the real-time web — and how Node is changing the way the developer community creates the Internet as we know it.

3 Ways ‘Big Data Analytics’ Will Change Enterprise Performance Management

Thu, 08 Mar 2012 14:04:04 +0100

3 Ways ‘Big Data Analytics’ Will Change Enterprise Performance Management:

Success of companies – big or small – will increasingly depend on their ability to capture, analyze and gain insights from data. While Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) has always been about collecting, analyzing and reporting of data to support management decision making, the emergence ‘Big Data Analytics’ is going to change EPM as we know it. ‘Big Data Analytics’ is one of the biggest business buzz words of 2012, so let me outline some of my thoughts on how this will change EPM in most companies. In their EPM efforts, most companies are collecting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and business metrics, analyze them and report the results of their analysis to inform management decision making. Having said that – most companies also struggle to identify the key strategic indicators and often end up reporting a random set of metrics that don’t lead to any real insights and don’t support decision making – but this is by-the-by.

NoSQL Data Modeling Techniques

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:34:01 +0100

NoSQL Data Modeling Techniques:

NoSQL databases are often compared by various non-functional criteria, such as scalability, performance, and consistency. This aspect of NoSQL is well-studied both in practice and theory because specific non-functional properties are often the main justification for NoSQL usage and fundamental results on distributed systems like CAP theorem are well applicable to the NoSQL systems. At the same time, NoSQL data modeling is not so well studied and lacks of systematic theory like in relational databases. In this article I provide a short comparison of NoSQL system families from the data modeling point of view and digest several common modeling techniques. To explore data modeling techniques, we have to start with some more or less systematic view of NoSQL data models that preferably reveals trends and interconnections. The following figure depicts imaginary “evolution” of the major NoSQL system families, namely, Key-Value stores, BigTable-style databases, Document databases, Full Text Search Engines, and Graph databases:

A common demo application for popular JavaScript MV* frameworks

A common demo application for popular JavaScript MV* frameworks:

Developers these days are spoiled with choice when it comes to selecting an MV* framework for structuring and organizing JavaScript web apps. Backbone, Spine, Ember.js (SproutCore 2.0), JavaScriptMVC… The list of new and stable solutions goes on and on, but just how do you decide on which to use in a sea of so many options? To help solve this problem, TodoMVC was created - a project which offers the same Todo application implemented using MVC concepts in most of the popular JavaScript MV* frameworks of today. Solutions look and feel the same, have a common feature set, and make it easy for you to compare the syntax and structure of different frameworks, so you can select the one you feel the most comfortable with.

The NoSQL movement

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:15:44 +0100

The NoSQL movement:

In a conversation last year, Justin Sheehy, CTO of Basho, described NoSQL as a movement, rather than a technology. This description immediately felt right; I’ve never been comfortable talking about NoSQL, which when taken literally, extends from the minimalist Berkeley DB (commercialized as Sleepycat, now owned by Oracle) to the big iron HBase, with detours into software as fundamentally different as Neo4J (a graph database) and FluidDB (which defies description). But what does it mean to say that NoSQL is a movement rather than a technology? We certainly don’t see picketers outside Oracle’s headquarters. Justin said succinctly that NoSQL is a movement for choice in database architecture. There is no single overarching technical theme; a single technology would belie the principles of the movement.
