Infrastructure from PolySpot Offers Secure Information Delivery Across the Enterprise
November 1, 2012
With the amount of attention on big data, any software solution vendor is likely to rise up and present their fancy marketing language for enterprise infrastructure as the one and only kind of software that can tackle the challenge big data poses. Well, ZDNet speaks only the language of pure and simple truth in their article “Big Data: Why It’s Really an Architecture Challenge.”
Business intelligence and data warehousing may be two common aspects of the larger system for extracting insights from big data, but data warehouses were not designed for the volume of integration and access required and neither were business-intelligence systems.
The article opens by pointing directly to infrastructure as the key component:
What’s missing from all the conversations about big data is a focus on the infrastructure necessary to support it — and in particular its use in real time. For many companies, big data means opening up access to the data warehouses they have always maintained. Data warehousing has been and continues to be a critical component of enterprise-class organisations. Such systems provide the aggregation of data from across the organisation and enable it to be sliced and diced into consumable chunks allowing business analysts to provide insights into business conditions.
Infrastructure is what delivers information across the enterprise, allowing the true dissemination of insights to occur. More often than not, companies allow the magnitude of little data bits to distract from the larger ideas that evolve from the sum of the parts – but not PolySpot.
