What BIG DATA mean to you? - I

Wiki says “a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools” for a Big Data. When it comes to business always it has different definition than the theoretical part of it. It’s another concept in the data world rather a technology, which teaches different meaning to the same data. It started with Database continued with Datawarehouse, Master Data Management, BI analytics, Exadata and now the CIO world has coined Big Data. The purpose of all these tools are more similar but the need of evolution differs as always determined by the demand. Web2.0’s evolution, let’s say for some good reasons, which gifted sleepless nights for marketing guys who are much worried about data. Data becomes information when it comes with a soft or hard corner on your business which can be from Web2.0 based sites like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter etc... It is estimated that amount of data will go upto 44 times as to the data of 2009. When these data is captured or utilized, it not only generates leads but also provides some basic info on consumers mind. Big Data’s evolution is being triggered by the Web 2.0 websites and the need of the corporates to read the mind of consumers. “Big Data can help you when your business wants to know why a guy is not ready to buy my Product?” There are lot of tweets and comments in the Web2.0 world that shows the mind of the consumer what they want from you rather on how they are satisfied with you. Lot of major players are running behind this and yes Oracle is also one among them. Let’s explore what an oracle customer can get out of this Big Data and how they do this in the coming posts.

Oracle’s Footprint On Cloud – I

Every business is speaking about cloud now-a-days or they are made to speak like that. Hackers smile. Yes, security of the data occupies the top rank in the risk factors of working in Cloud.

The answer to the primary question of businesses looking for Cloud ends up with the Cost factor with the SME’s and getting only the opted services with Large size companies.

A Survey says Public Clouds would be most preferred by companies in the future. Still large segments of the business prefer to form private clouds dedicated to their company. These private clouds reduce the risk factor involved in terms of security with the Public Cloud. This reminds me the Data grid and Virtualization concepts which occupied the top of the mind of every techie some time back.

Oracle has its footprint in the Cloud as well. Oracle is claiming products in the SaaS, PaaS and IaaS environments. It has got a good case study on its implementation of the IaaS tools with Amazon. Let us see those in detail in my next posts.
