One of the aspects of defrag that I’m trying to dig into much more fully this year is the problem of “massive data sets” and how it is that business can begin to take advantage of the vast pools of data they have (versus simply drowning in it). Its really where defrag starts to meet “business intelligence” in a more traditional sense.
To that end, I’ve had some great stuff coming from Mayank Bawa, the CEO over at Aster Data. Mayank will be presenting a session entitled, “Leveraging Data to form Closed-Loop Decision Processes.” Sounds scary, right? Mayank’s gonna show us how to get this done:
Most data generated on the Internet gets thrown away because it has traditionally been viewed as too expensive or low value to store and analyze. While the data businesses capture is now “growing out,” the smartest companies also recognize that the use of data is “growing up.” These companies are the ones who monetize the insights they gain by taming and analyzing those data sets, and feeding the insights back into operational purposes.
Oh my! Yes, it will be fun - and informative - and engaging. Join us.
