In a recent post I discussed some of the issues encountered in the data center when attempting to build horizontal data services across a server-based storage infrastructure. Backup, mobility, replication,…

In recent posts I've discussed a simplified data lake architecture that is starting to appear more frequently. This architecture enables the development of faster analytic applications by balancing an in-memory…

In Data Lake, Simplified a simple picture of an emerging infrastructure was presented: in-memory data grids on top of HDFS. The reason for this new infrastructure is that "second platform" (e.g.…

I enjoyed reading the Data Lake Dream article in Forbes (written by Edd Dumbill). The very first paragraph, for me, contained some illuminating statements about the value of a data…

I've written a few posts describing the basics of a data analytic stack, including the CloudFoundry layer, and the mobile layer. The main value proposition of Pivotal's stack, as I've…

One product set being featured at Cisco Live this week is EMC's Service Assurance Suite. The evolution of the SMARTS technology acquired by EMC last decade is part of this…

It is a bad pun to say that Cloud Foundry is a Pivotal layer of a data analytic stack, but it's true. I first discovered Cloud Foundry over four years ago…

In a recent post I discussed the topmost mobile layer of an analytic stack and how it can relate (securely) to the bottom-most layer of an IT infrastructure. The value proposition…

I’ve started to blog my way through an architectural stack of a Big Data analytic framework:   I’ll start at the top layer (mobile) in this post. The creation of…
