Over the past few months industry analysts have been making some pretty controversial recommendations for data management in the cloud. For a thoughtful and entertaining analysis, I strongly recommend you spend a few minutes watching the keynote session by Pat Moorhead, CEO Moor Insights & Strategy, at the Evolve 2022 Data event in New York. His takeaway: “The world is very much going to be hybrid and multi-cloud.” His delivery—priceless.
Many times, a business treats an engaged customer like a random prospect. Marketing systems may not correctly target with relevance, finance systems may apply discount rules across the board, or customer support systems may treat every client with the same indifference.
Cloudera has been providing enterprise support for Apache NiFi since 2015, helping hundreds of organizations take control of their data movement pipelines on premises and in the public cloud. Working with these organizations has taught us a lot about the needs of developers and administrators when it comes to developing new dataflows and supporting them in mission-critical production environments.
The growth of big data has scattered data sources throughout the enterprise, tucking them away in silos and making them hard to find. But there is more to data than just storing information in an operational data store or running analytics from a data warehouse. For example, regulated industries have requirements needing tighter control over the data.
Whether on-premises, private, hybrid or multicloud, or at the edge – working in the cloud is complex. And as the enterprise expands, so too does the threat surface for cyberattacks. Ransomware, in particular, is among the biggest risks organizations now face and cloud-based data is accounting for 39% of successful attacks.
What an incredible week in Las Vegas for this year’s annual AWS re:Invent conference. The last time we were in-person for re:Invent pre-Covid, the show had grown to over 60,000 attendees. This year the energy and sheer volume of activity felt like we were right back there. The difference from 2019 in where the industry is, however, was readily on display throughout the week.
Cross-cloud analytics are critical to breaking down data silos. Moving data with usability, security, low-latency, and audibility makes it a reality.
When you’re racing around a circuit at over 200mph, there isn’t much room for error. There's a team of thousands backing you, millions of dollars on the line and a grid of other teams vying for the podium. In motorsport, every millisecond counts – and that’s where data can make the difference. This is what I spoke to Joe DosSantos about in the latest episode of Data Brilliant.
