BIG DATA WEBINAR

TAMING THE BIG DATA BEAST

The use of big data to create business value has been around for over a decade in advanced research laboratories and advanced engineering research centers within large corporations. Traditionally termed HPC (high performance computing), big data provided significant advances in nuclear research, mineral exploration, material sciences, and computer modeling.

The term 'big data' is now applied more broadly to cover commercial environments, thanks to massive technology improvements, including: faster and cheaper processing power, clustered computing, lower cost SATA storage, and increased network performance, enabling companies to perform computing tasks that previously required highly sophisticated and costly systems.
