(Newswire.net — May 6, 2014) Broomfield, Colorado — CodeFutures’ Cory Isaacson to Discuss Scaling and Managing Big Data at Database Month in NYC
Industry Veteran Asks ‘Have We Been Looking at Databases Wrong this Whole Time?’
Who: Cory Isaacson
CEO and CTO – CodeFutures
Isaacson has 20 years of experience developing database technologies, and recently
served as president of Rogue Wave Software. His interest in scalability and parallel
computing led to his first book, “Software Pipelines” (Addison-Wesley, 2009), and he
has published numerous articles on database and Big Data technology. He is also at
work on his latest book, “Understanding Big Data” (Addison-Wesley, expected release
summer 2014). At CodeFutures he leads the technical vision behind products that
make data easy to access to support the real-time enterprise.
What: Scaling and Managing Big Data: Have We Been Looking at Databases Wrong this
Whole Time?
What worked in the past may not work in the present. That’s certainly true for how I,
and many of my colleagues in the industry, have looked at databases. Our conceptual
view of databases as static data repositories has limited both our ability to keep pace
with changing business requirements and to adapt to today’s more “agile” approach
to IT. Traditional approaches have limited our ability to match data structures to
changing application requirements, has slowed development processes, added waste
and complexity, and failed to meet the data needs of the emerging real-time
enterprise. Steps have been made with sharding and distributed database technology,
but that’s not nearly enough. What organizations need is real-time access to data,
allowing immediate and actionable interpretation of events as they happen. What is
needed is an agile approach to Big Data, one that affords architects and developers
the freedom to rapidly support a wide variety of changing business requirements and
needs – without a full “reset” of the Big Data infrastructure and toolset. This session
will provide a fresh look at the Big Data infrastructure – what we call “Agile Big Data.”
This agile approach is extremely revealing and offers a glimpse of a new paradigm for
advanced data infrastructures and management.
