Big Data Quote of the day: 07/02/2013

The quote below in Big Data Hasn't Changed Everything reminded me of Splunk's Hunk tool (point the tool at the computer cluster and then magic happens).


Managers are constantly being told that they are one hardware or software installation away from business nirvana. But they should bear in mind the lessons of the financial crisis the next time a consultant waltzes into their office declaring big data the next big thing, or even worse, a "paradigm shift."

                                              ************************

Big data continues to garner bad press.  It is high time there are successful use cases outside the usual suspects - Google, Facebook, Netfix, Amazon, Twitter and exceptions such as Wellpoint Healthcare and Progressive Insurance.   Data - small, medium or big - is not the entire wheel, but just another spoke in the wheel.
