Many organizations weigh the benefits and risks of data lakes versus data warehouses. The former can be vast but slow, while the latter requires great effort to achieve the desired speed. But these solutions are no longer mutually exclusive. A new kind of supercharged information architecture can deliver the best of both worlds, enabling the richness of data lake designs, along with the performance and accuracy of enterprise data warehousing.

Hear Analyst Eric Kavanagh explain why a host of innovations in data processing and management are enabling truly interactive business intelligence. He'll be joined by Kelly Stirman of Dremio, who will demonstrate how his company's platform enables accelerated BI across even the most diverse and complex information landscapes. He'll show how this new approach can deliver accelerated, performant queries across a wide range of information systems.

The scalable compute power of the cloud has placed Machine Learning in the spotlight of what's now possible with Big Data. The evolution of cloud computing — with readily accessible and ever-increasing pools of resources such seemingly endless affordable cloud storage — has opened the door to new possibilities that would have been impossible both financially and technically to most individuals and companies just a few years ago.

But computer processors and technology only represent part of the picture. Human beings are still necessary ingredients when applying machine learning, specifically in the domain of training algorithms. Not everyone is suited to serve as a trainer, which means serious professionals must be careful who they put in charge of this critical task.

Join Eric Kavanagh on 4/9/18 @ 3:00 ET as he discusses this issue with Stu Shulman, Founder and CEO of Texifter; Luther Birdzell of OAG Analytics; Jürgen Schmidhuber, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist, NNAISENSE; and Eric Siegel, founder, Predictive Analytics World and author, "Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die."

First came the data warehouse, then the data lake. Open-source upstarts Cloudera and Hortonworks jumped on the data lake concept quickly, touting their mastery of Apache Hadoop as key to their ability to effectively build and maintain data lakes that provide business value.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the digital forum: Cloud storage underwent a major metamorphosis, with major price-performance improvements. Suddenly, a host of cloud storage vendors were challenging the status quo, throwing down the gauntlet to the early-stage leaders in the data lake game. And savvy analyst, Tony Baer of Ovum asked: "Is cloud the de facto data lake?"

What, exactly, is a modern data warehouse? How does it differ from a "traditional" data warehouse? Price? Performance? Architecture? Cloud-based? We'll discuss this and so much more on this episode of #InsideAnaysis! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview several expert guests on live radio via WFOY in Jacksonville; with replay on WCGO in Chicago. Guests include Neil Barton of Wherescape, Bill Payne of FactEffect, and Blaine Nielsen of Leo Insights.

The modern enterprise has arrived. Agile, proactive and contextually aware, this cutting-edge organization takes advantage of the many recent innovations that have redefined the business world. Analytics, big data and cloud computing have coalesced to digitally transform practically every business process. And thanks to the remarkable power of in-memory computing, forward-looking companies can operate in real-time, seizing opportunities, averting threats, and strategically maneuvering through even the most turbulent market dynamics.

Check out this episode of InsideAnalysis to learn from two industry visionaries, including Bruno Aziza of AtScale and Chris Carter of Approyo. Topics discussed will include industrial cloud capabilities, the power of in-memory to transform enterprise IT, and how Big Data will transform business.

All roads lead to cloud: (almost) everyone knows that now. The benefits so outweigh the risks, that even the stodgiest enterprise architects now see the handwriting on the ceiling. While the rules are much different from the days of on-prem software, the reality is that smart cloud architects know their knowledge bar just went higher. How can you stay prepared? Check out this episode of #InsideAnalysis to hear host @eric_kavanagh interview several experts, including world-renowned cloud visionary Roger Strukoff, Conference Chair for the Cloud Expo, plus Parth Patel of Zaloni, Jim Crook of CTERA, and a special guest.

World-famous luminary William Gibson once quipped: "The future is here already; it's just not evenly distributed." He may well have been thinking about artificial intelligence (AI), a long-maturing field of software development that has recently gone exponential with the value it provides. Indeed, AI now pervades the world of big business, and is kickstarting new business models, and whole new ways of getting jobs done. How can your organization benefit? Check out this episode of #InsideAnalysis to find out! Host Eric Kavanagh will interview several experts, including industry visionary Tom Koulopoulos of Delphi Group, Ted Dunning of MapR, as well as Nima Negahban of Kinetica. In addition, Marty Falaro, Wasabi's VP of Sales, will join the webcast immediately following the terrestrial broadcast.

Attack of the Drones: Why Benefits Outweigh Risks

Serious decisions are increasingly being made by algorithms these days, but what does that really mean? And how does this affect issues like governance? compliance? strategic planning? Many of these decisions are serious ones that affect individuals and companies. New mandates such as the Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) address this issue, but there's a lot of gray area. How can your organization prepare for this future of algorithms? Check out this episode of #InsideAnalysis to find out! Host @Eric_Kavanagh will interview Jason Ma of Alation, whose data catalog technology can help companies navigate the turbulent waters of modern data.

With a market cap now in excess of $700 billion, cryptocurrencies must be taken seriously. While Bitcoin remains the leader, there are scores of competing coins these days.
