FOCUS Issue 29 on Big Data Available Now
May 27, 2013
Datacenter Dynamics’ publication, FOCUS, just released issue 29 with an emphasis on Big Data. Penny Jones provides a look into the latest edition in her story, “FOCUS 29 – the Big Data Issue. Read it Online Now!” which appears on the Datacenter Dynamics blog.
To introduce the topic of Big Data, the author discusses the concept with the head of CERN’s open lab project, Bob Jones. She quotes him here:
“Jones likens CERN to a big industrial plant, which is quite fitting for GE’s purpose. GE pushes big data solutions focused on the Industrial Internet (see Pages 30-33).”
She then continues by introducing another leading mind in the world of Big Data:
“Another vendor representative I spoke with, LucidWork’s CTO Grant Ingersoll, told me machines and the Internet – funnily enough – are the reason we have big data in the first place. ‘[Big data] is this unique combination of man and machine that work together on data that brings new business insights and solves complex problems that, until now, have not been tackled. In many ways, business intelligence (BI), big data and analysis tools are closely related.’”
LucidWorks definitely has a voice in the Big Data market, as they seek to aid businesses with efficiency and accuracy in their enterprise search and Big Data needs. Built on Apache Lucene and Solr, the LucidWorks offerings do deliver on the promise that Ingersoll makes above, ensuring that business intelligence is coupled with analysis and Big Data in a way that ensures a competitive advantage.
