A thoughtful and intriguing comment on the value of streaming analytics by an IBM'er in IBM’s Take on Big Data and How Hadoop Is Changing Integration
"It’s no longer enough to know what question to ask. Sometimes, it matters when you ask a question"
“In a big data world, sometimes the best thing to do is persist your question and have the data run through that question continuously rather than finding a better place to persist the data”
I assume that is IBM's sweet spot (combining big data with processing power)
ReplyDeleteYes. The real innovations in big data and analytics are happening in lots of smaller companies and start-ups. Big Blue talks big data, and being a 800-lb gorilla has been very acquisitive in building up its big data analytics platforms and solutions.
