Businesses Require Scalability Seen in PolySpot Solutions for Big Data Needs

February 22, 2013

Whether companies are in the exploratory phase or have already implemented their initiatives, they are talking about big data to some extent. CIO points out an interesting dilemma some companies may be facing in their recent article, “Big Data is a Solution Looking for a Problem.” With all the hype, some companies may have forgotten to ask what problem they wanted to solve by using big data.

Big Data is forecasted to drive $34 billion of IT spending in 2013 and create 4.4 million IT jobs by 2015. In light of those numbers, there must be some major problems that companies want to address.

One of the biggest variables companies are looking at is how much data they need to hold onto for storage and analysis:

A lot of other industries are simply looking for ways to manage and monetise their data assets – and Big Data is not always the answer, according to Logan. There are plenty of off-the-shelf software programs that can visualise large data sets, and in some cases the best solution may be to simply throw some of the data away.

Finding a big data solution with the capacity for scaling will help increase the company’s ROI. An organization may not have petabytes of data to undergo analytics today but they might need that capability tomorrow. Solutions like PolySpot have scaling capabilities that growing businesses require as they are increasingly driven to find more opportunities and insights from their data on hand.
