Big Data Inhabits New Space in the Virtual Market
June 20, 2011
We noticed this press release, “Big Data Mall Opens on the Informatica Marketplace” which was picked up by GlobeNewswire.
Big data is the buzzword du jour to describe large amounts of structured and unstructured information. The idea is that there is so much data to process that traditional methods fall short of delivering useful results at a reasonable cost in the time available for a 30 something decision maker to fill his or her role as a “decider.”
Companies like Informatica are making tackling this contemporary challenge a priority, and continue to lead the way in terms of data management solutions. Concurrent with the release of their Informatica 9.1 Platform, consumers now have access to the recent addition to the Informatica Marketplace, the Big Data Mall.
The Marketplace allows both customer and vendor to collaborate in an effort to better manage the goals of modern commerce. The methods arrived at are what is referred to within the Marketplace as blocks. Specific blocks are then collected into sections known as malls. The release provides an explanation of this new section:
“The Big Data Mall is a focal point for the industry in addressing the challenges and opportunities in Big Data,” said Tony Young, chief information officer, Informatica. “The new Mall debuts with 40 Blocks from Informatica and other leading vendors that map to the three major technology trends that define Big Data – Big Transaction Data, Big Interaction Data and Big Data Processing. New Blocks will be added going forward, as more and more innovative solutions emerge from the industry around Big Data.”
Will big data become the next frontier for findability or will predictive analytics become the next big thing?
