Big Data

What is Big Data??? In information technology, big data consists of data sets that grow so large and complex that they become awkward to work with using on-hand database management tools. Difficulties include capture, storage, search, sharing, analytics, and visualizing. This trend continues because of the benefits of working with larger and larger data sets allowing analysts to "spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime." Though a moving target, current limits are on the order of petabytes, exabytes and zettabytes of data.Scientists regularly encounter this problem in meteorology, genomics, connectomics, complex physics simulations, biological and environmental research,Internet search, finance and business informatics. Data sets also grow in size because they are increasingly being gathered by ubiquitous information-sensing mobile devices, aerial sensory technologies (remote sensing), software logs, cameras, microphones, Radio-frequency identification readers, and wireless sensor networks.The world’s technological per capita capacity to store information has roughly doubled every 40 months since the 1980s (about every 3 years)and every day 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created.

Big data is a term applied to data sets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Big data sizes are a constantly moving target currently ranging from a few dozen terabytes to many petabytes of data in a single data set.

In a 2001 research report and related conference presentations, then META Group (now Gartner) analyst, Doug Laney, defined data growth challenges (and opportunities) as being three-dimensional, i.e. increasing volume (amount of data), velocity (speed of data in/out), and variety (range of data types, sources). Gartner continues to use this model for describing big data.
 
The impact of “big data” has increased the demand of information management specialists in that Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, and SAP have spent more than $15 billion on software firms only specializing in data management and analytics. This industry on its own is worth more than $100 billion and growing at almost 10% a year which is roughly twice as fast as the software business as a whole.

 Big data (also spelled Big Data) is a general term used to describe the voluminous amount of unstructured and semi-structured data a company creates -- data that would take too much time and cost too much money to load into a relational database for analysis. Although Big data doesn't refer to any specific quantity, the term is often used when speaking about petabytes and exabytes of data.Big Data was hit the industry.

Consumerization of IT


Consumerization is an increasingly accepted term used to describe the growing tendency for new information technology to emerge first in the consumer market and then spread into business and government organizations. The emergence of consumer markets as the primary driver of information technology innovation is seen as a major IT industry shift, as large business and government organizations dominated the early decades of computer usage and development.



The primary impact of consumerization is that it is forcing businesses, especially large enterprises, to rethink the way they procure and manage IT equipment and services. Historically, central IT organizations controlled the great majority of IT usage within their firms, choosing or at least approving of the systems and services that employees used. Consumerization enables alternative approaches. Today, employees and departments are becoming increasing self-sufficient in meeting their IT needs. Products have become easier to use, and cloud-basedsoftware-as-a-service offerings are addressing an ever-widening range of business needs in areas such as video-conferencingdigital imaging, business collaborationsalesforce support, systems back-up, and other areas.

In addition to the mass market changes above, consumer markets are now changing large scale computing as well. The giant data centers that have been and are being built by firms such as Google, AppleAmazon and others are far larger and generally much more efficient than the data centers used by most large enterprises. For example, Google is said to support over 300 million Gmail accounts, while executing more than 1 billion searches per day.


Now a days, Consumers have more choice, more options, and more flexibility in the technology that they use every day—from powerful mobile devices and computers to the social networks that they use to connect with each other. As that technology spills over into their professional lives, the line between the personal and the professional is blurring. We want to use the same technology at work as they use at home. And although consumer technology offers some great potential benefits for the business, it also represents added risk in terms of security, privacy, and compliance. For IT, it’s about striking a balance between user expectations and enterprise requirements.

Cloud Computing ...


     Cloud computing is a metaphor used by Technology or IT Services companies for the delivery of computingrequirements as a service to a homogeneous community of end-recipients. The term cloud theoretically signifies abstraction of technology, resources and its location that are very vital in building integrated computing infrastructure(including networks, systems & applications). All Cloud computing models rely heavily on sharing of resources to achieve coherance and economies of scale similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over anetwork (typically the Internet).
     Cloud computing entrusts services (typically centralized) with a user's data, software and computation on a published application programming interface (API) over a network. It has considerable overlap with software as a service (SaaS).
     End users access cloud based applications through a web browser or a light weight desktop or mobile appwhile the business software and data are stored on servers at a remote location. Cloud application providers strive to give the same or better service and performance than if the software programs were installed locally on end-user computers.

     The actual term "cloud" borrows from telephony in that telecommunications companies, who until the 1990s offered primarily dedicated point-to-point data circuits, began offering Virtual Private Network (VPN) services with comparable quality of service but at a much lower cost. By switching traffic to balance utilisation as they saw fit, they were able to utilise their overall network bandwidth more effectively. The cloud symbol was used to denote the demarcation point between that which was the responsibility of the provider and that which was the responsibility of the user. Cloud computing extends this boundary to cover servers as well as the network infrastructure.
     Public cloud applications, storage, and other resources are made available to the general public by a service provider. These services are free or offered on a pay-per-use model. Generally, public cloud service providers like Microsoft and Google own and operate the infrastructure and offer access only via Internet (direct connectivity is not offered).

New-Generation Mobile-Smart  Devices and Tablets 




     New and Upgraded Society! Now a days, some of us uses new gadgets like iPad and smartphone. The new iPad is everything it was rumored to be! Available March 16th, the new tablet features 4G LTE support, a quad-core graphics processor, and a stunning high-def screen. The new iPad sports Apple’s Retina display, features a quad-core graphics processor (on the A5X chip), and supports 4G LTE networks. Pre-orders for the new iPad are already available.

     Naturally, all this talk about screen resolution and processor power brings a specific topic to mind games. And when a new iOS device is announced, can a new Infinity Blade be far behind? No, no it can’t. As such, Epic Games President Mike Capps was on hand at Apple’s event to reveal Infinity Blade.



     A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile computing platform, with more advanced computing ability and connectivity than afeature phone. The first smartphones were devices that mainly combined the functions of a personal digital assistant and a mobile phone or camera phone. Today's models also serve to combine the functions of portable media players, low-end compact digital cameraspocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units. Modern smartphones typically also include high-resolution touchscreensweb browsers that can access and properly display standard web pages rather than just mobile-optimized sites, and high-speed data access via Wi-Fi and mobile broadband.


     The most common mobile operating systems (OS) used by modern smartphones include Apple's iOSGoogle's AndroidMicrosoft'sWindows PhoneNokia's SymbianRIM's BlackBerry OS, and embedded Linux distributions such as Maemo and MeeGo. Such operating systems can be installed on many different phone models, and typically each device can receive multiple OS software updates over its lifetime.

     In my own scheme in the next production there will be more amazing and only one of its kind, all gadgets are valuable to exploit !
