 | |  | | By Doug Henschen | | | Hadoop 2.0: New Big Data Possibilities Hadoop 2.0 will be announced within a matter of days, and a new YARN framework component at its core promises to "take Hadoop beyond MapReduce," according to Arun Murthy, chairman of the Apache committee overseeing the release. Moving beyond slow, iterative MapReduce processing is obviously a good thing, but just what are the new possibilities?
Most Hadoop adopters are treating the platform as a data lake or ocean for all company information, says Murthy, but they want to be able to use the information in multiple ways roughly falling into four categories: batch, interactive, online, and streaming.
SQL is an example where human-interactive queries come in, and that could be through Hive. HBase, the Hadoop NoSQL database, is an online processing option. Storm (developed by Twitter) is a stream-processing option. Apache Giraph is an option for graph analysis. Spark is an option for high-speed, in-memory analytics on top of Hadoop. MPI is a modeling framework used for assessing risk, optimizing pricing, and other advanced analytic applications...

COMMENTARY SAP Steps Up Visual Analytics, Mobile BI By Cindi Howson Last week's Sapphire Conference marked my fourth since BusinessObjects was acquired by SAP in 2008, and this year's event stands out as one of the most exciting in terms of business analytics developments. Perhaps it's because the company has moved beyond three years of integration and beyond last year's apologies for SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 delays and quality issues. This year, many more customers are live on the latest products, and the biggest business analytics news was all about visual data discovery and mobile big data. Windows 8: 4 Things I've Learned By Kevin Casey After spending two weeks on a touchscreen laptop, I've revisited my initial assumptions about Windows 8. But don't kid yourself: Joe and Jane user will need training. 5 BI Requests IT Groups Must Challenge By Coverlet Meshing Potential customers of BI are rarely as data-literate or software-savvy as their increasingly complex problems demand them to be. Few, if any, aspire to a data-driven culture, and fewer still have a practical roadmap to it or hold technology's feet to that fire. So the idea that customers shopping for BI know what they need--or have a vision of what's possible--is overstated. SAP Vows Hana Is Ready To Run ERP By Doug Henschen You get the feeling that SAP was bound and determined to announce at this week's Sapphire Conference that its core Business Suite applications are ready to run on the Hana in-memory database platform. But for some the question is, just how ready is "ready?" It has been little more than 12 weeks since the ramp-up period (SAP's parlance for beta testing) began. Was Business Suite on Hana rushed to market? |  JOIN THE CONVERSATION Posted By cThomps72: "SAP is definitely taking a big risk with Hana for Business Suite. I asked around at Sapphire, but so far I fail to be convinced that Hana is truly ready for transaction processing on the type of scale and with the sort of SLA that large businesses require. What makes me suspicious is that nobody is willing or able to discuss real-life numbers about Hana for ERP, like how many SAP [apps] Hana can actually deliver on specific hardware configurations."

Yet many CIOs are barely keeping their budgets flat; some must even absorb cuts. It's hard to innovate when you're scraping to pay for basic security.
We heard from 513 business technology professionals in our InformationWeek 2013 IT Spending Priorities Survey. Overall, the picture is grim: 58 percent have improving security on their project lists for this year, compared with just 24 percent who are aiming to build or enhance an analytics, business intelligence, or decision-support system. Many, 43 percent, say their 2013 budgets will remain about the same as in 2012, while most of the 39 percent seeing increases will get less than a 10 percent boost.
