Monday, October 22, 2012 News   |   Commentary   |   Slideshows   |   RSS Feeds   Doug Henschen     IT managers are already struggling to manage data within the constraints of their current budgets and staffing levels. What will they do when marketing and various business units demand big data insights? According to a Gartner study published last week, IT professionals will spend nearly half of all IT resources during the next few years in an effort to adapt large, complex IT infrastructures to the demands of big data projects. The result, according to the study titled "Big Data Drives Rapid Changes in Infrastructure," is a misleadingly small market for big data projects. Those projects will account for only about $4.3 billion worth of corporate IT spending worldwide in 2012, according to Gartner. Instead of spending directly on big data projects, IT will be preoccupied beefing up their storage, databases, servers, and other IT resources to handle huge databases--upgrades that will drive $28 billion in IT spending worldwide during 2012, and $34 billion in 2013, Gartner predicts. Is it a case of spending on plumbing rather than value-driving projects? Read More.

In addition to chats with Cisco's John Chambers and Oracle's Mark Hurd, we'll also feature our Elevator Pitch session, a rapid-fire deluge of information about new technology approaches. One company's elevator pitch we'll be highlighting: Alteryx. To say that Alteryx is a big data company wouldn't quite do it justice. This company is on a mission to make complex data exploration and insights digestible for mere mortals, rather than just data scientists. Alteryx labels its target user "the data artisan" and talks about the consumerization of analytics. The data artisan, who is more like a business analyst, designs an application and then shares that application in the cloud -- where others can run it (or download it). Alteryx counts Wal-Mart as one of its customers, and Wal-Mart is using the platform for everything from choosing store locations to optimizing store space, and more. Check out some sample applications at www.gallery.alteryx.com. Other Elevator Pitches featured: Hearsay Social (social media for the enterprise) and Taptera (enterprise mobile applications).

Should High Schools Teach Big Data? Given the anticipated shortage of data scientists, some high school educators have jumped in to expose students to big data concepts.

We did not learn how to properly evaluate politicians, accomplish an Income Tax Form, or deal with the Draft. High Schools students need to be prepared for Life. Life includes practical employment in a viable industry for many. 'Big Data' would seem to fit in there quite well." In reply to: Should High Schools Teach Big Data?

Oracle Exalytics: Is It A Must-Have For BI? By Cindi Howson Oracle's latest engineered system promises better business intelligence performance and ease of deployment, but the tradeoff is in openness to third-party tools.   REPORTS & WHITEPAPERS FEATURED REPORTS IT Pro Impact: In-Memory Analytics And Databases If your IT group has lost its innovation mojo, focusing on the intersection of big data and in-memory analytics and databases is a good bet to get it back. Serious changes are on the horizon: Databases and data warehouses as we know them, with their spinning disks and related I/O overhead, are not the future. Big data analytics and the database management systems supporting next-generation, low-latency transactional systems demand a new in-memory approach. But questions remain about cost, use cases, and synergies with existing technologies such as Hadoop, NoSQL, caching, stream computing, and grids.

First, the use of maps to view business data in its geographical context is growing in importance. Second, managers and executives find it important to map data to manage everything from assets and customers to the field workforce and supply chains, in addition to using maps for operational awareness, real estate planning, and risk management. Third, a gap exists between the growing awareness of the importance of location-based data and the ability of organizations to make effective use of the data. This research brief further explores these issues and provides insight into why organizations may be struggling--or overlooking the opportunity--to take advantage of all the data in their environment.

AAPL: Samsung (SSNLF.PK) says it has terminated its...

1:47 PM Samsung (SSNLF.PK) says it has terminated its LCD supply contract with Apple (AAPL), and will no longer provide panels to the company due to price disagreements. Rivals LG Display (LPL +2.2%), AU Optronics (AU -1%), and Sharp (SHCAY.PK), who are already supplying Apple, should benefit. Apple has already shifted memory purchases away from Samsung, and reportedly wants to migrate its app processor manufacturing to TSMC. (Read the comments on this)
