IHS Markit - Building of a Global Analytics Platform

In this Analytics Alehouse event, the OmniSci team walks through a live Time-to-Insights exercise, showcasing a comparison between OmniSci and Snowflake / Tableau.

The exercise starts with a basic premise: Given the same starting point, how quickly and easily can users build a dashboard in Snowflake/Tableau versus OmniSci, all while providing incredible scale, performance and beautiful visualizations without a lot of fuss and tweaking?

Lastly, we walk through the numbers and reveal how we were able to achieve 25x performance improvement at 1/10th the cost.

During this webinar, Antonio Cotroneo will provide an overview of OmniSci, discuss what’s possible with Free, and demonstrate how you can deploy Free, ingest your first datasets, and build compelling visualizations in Immerse. We will also open up the floor for attendees to present the projects they are building in OmniSci Free - be sure to download and explore OmniSci Free before April 8!

OmniSci Free is a full-featured version of OmniSci servers and workstations (on-prem and in the cloud) available for download and indefinite use at no cost. The purpose of OmiSci Free is to make analytics instant, powerful, and effortless for everyone. Here is an overview of what OmniSci Free has to offer:

- OmniSci Free is licensed for commercial use, with the exception of paid hosting
- Free Forever upon download
- Up to 3 active user sessions

Now, this wouldn’t be a virtual happy hour without a mixology class to kick us off. Before we dive into the bells and whistles of OmniSci Free, we will teach attendees how to make an Accelerated Analytics Aperol Spritz - a favorite of our resident mixologist, Kathryn Adams.

Microscopes are age-old technology which let us visualize and research phenomena too small to be perceived by the human eye. Macroscoopes, by contrast, are systems designed to reveal spatial and temporal patterns which are so big or slow that they escape normal human perception. We can get some sense of these when we fly, or when we look at time-lapse imagery. But to really make progress requires both the ability to collect planetary-scale information over time, and to harness modern compute technologies to support interactive visualization and interrogation of such data.

The convergence of three technologies is finally allowing the construction of macroscopes, and making them practical for daily use in both scientific and business contexts. First, we have the advent of LIDAR, GPS cell phones and ‘cube’ sats. These supply raw observation data from nearly everywhere, capturing both human and natural activities. Then we have machine learning methods which can classify patterns of movement or pixels. As applied to geodata, we call this “geoML.” Last but not least we have modern computing architectures which move algorithms to data and stream highly-distilled information to client applications.

In this presentation, we explore three applications of the macroscope concept, applying it to the monitoring of individual tree health for hundreds of millions of trees, the exposure of static and moving assets to weather, and the analysis of ship movement patterns.

We've all found fascinating big datasets that pique our curiosity and send our imaginations running wild with possibility. But more often than not we have no place to explore the entire corpus of these datasets without dropping some major coin. In this presentation we explore high volume AWS Open Geospatial Data within OmniSci Free, a full-Stack offering that includes OmniSci’s lightning fast database, rendering engine, and Immerse visual analytics platform that's free forever upon download. Users of OmniSci Free can seamlessly switch between scalable SQL, visual analytics, and data science workflows to better understand high volume, spatiotemporal datasets with speed and agility.

Watch this webinar to discover how Spire is combining space-based data with Amazon Web Services' world-class secure cloud infrastructure and OmniSci's massively accelerated analytics to create mission critical insights.

Let’s leave 2020 behind and celebrate the new year! Join the OmniSci team for a virtual happy hour at the Accelerated Analytics Alehouse, opening January 13, 2021.

Mix and mingle with the OmniSci community, learn how to make a Converge Cadillac Margarita, cheers to the new year, and hear about what’s new at OmniSci. Erik Schultz, Senior Technical Sales Engineer and expert bartender, will teach you to make a world class Converge Cadillac Margarita. While you enjoy your new favorite cocktail, or a beverage of your choice, he will highlight some new demos and OmniSci updates, answer any questions you have about the platform, and open up the virtual alehouse for networking and discussion.

Register today and you will be entered to win an OmniSci branded cocktail set!

Today’s geospatial professionals are increasingly called upon to deliver content in the form of interactive web apps. This can be challenging with traditional architectures, both because of the inflexibility of conventional template-based approaches, and due to major performance issues when delivering large geotemporal data across the web. OmniSci is a GPU database with built-in high performance geographic rendering (capable of handling literally billions of features). OmniSci’s Immerse web application allows end users to build or customize a wide range of dashboards themselves. This workshop will present some typical GEOINT applications delivered as interactive dashboards, and will drill down into the construction of one of them in detail. Attendees will learn all three levels of a modern web stack. We will start by reviewing the capabilities of OmniSci Immerse. Next, we will dig into the capabilities of OmniSQL, which uses postGIS-like syntax to expose powerful geoprocessing tools. Lastly, we will walk through Jupyter Notebook integration, and show how Python and the pymapd library can be used to construct powerful workflows.



Training Goals:

1. What is GPU analytics and why should I care? How can I get it?

2. How to create powerful geotemporal dashboards in Immerse

3. Using omniSQL to handle geotemporal data at scale

4. Leverage Jupyter notebook integration to optimize data pipelines supporting interactive use cases

The presence of extraordinary amounts of data, to train on, to learn from, and to explore, represents a golden age of computing. But beneath this incredible opportunity lies a massive challenge. Traditional CPU compute cannot keep pace with the growth in data, and as a result, even the most sophisticated organizations are unable to unlock its value. There is a new approach to computing and analytics that solves this yawning gap, involving the application of GPU compute from NVIDIA and analytical software from OmniSci Join OmniSci and NVIDIA to learn about GPUs, GPUs AI/ML, and how you can use NVIDIA and OmniSci for big data analytics and data science initiatives.

As one of the earliest adopters and collectors of big data, Telcos are now leading the world in addressing the challenges that come from having lots of data, but oftentimes too few insights. Some of those challenges include:

- Multiple Sources of Data
- Lengthy ETL Processes
- Limited Data Science Teams
- Growing Data Science Teams
- Multiple Service Offerings

In this talk, Charter Communications and OmniSci will show how they are addressing these challenges for the telecom industry. We’ll demonstrate using GPUs and OmniSci’s accelerated analytics platform for fast queries and joins of multiple sources of data, interactive visualizations of spatiotemporal data, and integration with the latest AI/ML tools for running complete data science pipelines without the need for a large team of data scientists.

5G Is on its way to consumer markets in the coming years. 5G network infrastructure is expected to completely revolutionize network connectivity. With proper 5G network planning and optimization, telecommunications companies will be able to deliver better customer experiences, solve complex problems, and move their business forward. 5G and big data go hand-in-hand. Experts predict 5G data usage could increase by 10-14 times current figures. This astronomical influx of 5G data creates an incredible opportunity for telco companies to explore real-time 5G insights and leverage 5G data analytics for 5G network optimization that gives your customers fast and consistent network connectivity at all times.
