Build limitless workloads on BigQuery: New features beyond SQL

Our mission at Google Cloud is to help our customers fuel data driven transformations. As a step towards this, BigQuery is removing its limit as a SQL-only interface and providing new developer extensions for workloads that require programming beyond SQL. These flexible programming extensions are all offered without the limitations of running virtual servers.

Unlocking the value of unstructured data at scale using BigQuery ML and object tables

Most commonly, data teams have worked with structured data. Unstructured data, which includes images, documents, and videos, will account for up to 80 percent of data by 2025. However, organizations currently use only a small percentage of this data to derive useful insights. One of main ways to extract value from unstructured data is by applying ML to the data.

Where data strategies go wrong: Tales from the front lines

Anthony Palacio has built and executed successful data strategies for a diverse range of companies—from ExxonMobil and startups to his role as Talend’s Senior Manager of Strategic Planning and Analytics. In this video Anthony and other Talend data experts discuss how companies often get their data strategies wrong—and share insights on how your business can cut through the noise, focus on what matters, and pivot to a successful data strategy that gets results.

Cybersecurity: A Big Data Problem

Information technology has been at the heart of governments around the world, enabling them to deliver vital citizen services, such as healthcare, transportation, employment, and national security. All of these functions rest on technology and share a valuable commodity: data. Data is produced and consumed in ever-increasing amounts and therefore must be protected. After all, we believe everything that we see on our computer screens to be true, don’t we?

Coherent Automates The Capture Of Spreadsheet Logic

Coherent Spark solves a common problem plaguing millions of Excel spreadsheet users: How to easily capture spreadsheet logic and bring it into the cloud to integrate it with modern systems? In this episode of “Powered by Snowflake,” Coherent Spark CTO Peter Roschke explains how the Spark platform takes advantage of the processing power of Snowflake to tackle that challenge. With Spark, the logic of Excel spreadsheets of any size or complexity, including enormous legacy spreadsheets containing millions of formulas, can be converted quickly into a cloud-compatible format capable of driving applications for all types of use cases.

Public or On-Prem? Telco giants are optimizing the network with the Hybrid Cloud

The telecommunications industry continues to develop hybrid data architectures to support data workload virtualization and cloud migration. However, while the promise of the cloud remains essential—not just for data workloads but also for network virtualisation and B2B offerings—the sheer volume and scale of data in the industry require careful management of the “journey to the cloud.”
