EMC IT's Journey to Big Data

Organizations are under pressure to increase the speed and effectiveness of their decision-making to increase business agility. Increasingly, expanded analytic capabilities are the means to achieve this goal and that requires more than just a Big Data analytics platform.

Organizations need to update the skills of their teams, foster an environment that enables analytic productivity, and develop a mindset towards data that values it as the new fuel for organizational productivity.

Learn why human skills such as creativity, communications and leadership are becoming more valuable than ever in the era of big data.

EMC announced the availability of Greenplum Chorus, delivering a Facebook-like social collaboration tool for Data Science teams to iterate on the development of datasets and ensure that useful insights are delivered to the business quickly. In addition to being social, Greenplum Chorus is now also open source. See a live demo of Greenplum Chorus, the industry’s first social toolset for Big Data, enabling Data Science teams to collaborate on datasets in a Facebook-like way.

In this one hour webinar, you’ll hear about the latest trends relating to Big Data Analytics and Hadoop and how innovative enterprises are leveraging their Big Data assets to gain new insights and identify new opportunities to help them accelerate their business. You’ll also learn about six key challenges of providing an enterprise-ready Hadoop infrastructure and how to address them with the industry’s first and only scale-out storage solution with native Hadoop integration.

EMC’s acquisition of Pivotal Labs proves the company really understands the big data market. Namely, that big data won’t go anywhere without great applications, and EMC isn’t the company to help customers figure out how to build theirs. At an event at the Pivotal office in New York today, EMC Greenplum SVP of Products (and Greenplum co-founder) Scott Yara let the world in on a dirty little secret: systems software company can’t build apps that users want to use. That’s why Greenplum actually contracted Pivotal to help it build the Greenplum Chorus product on which the company is placing a great deal of emphasis. Greenplum was so impressed with Pivotal, it decided the company needed to join the growing EMC empire, Pivotal Founder and CEO Rob Mee told me. See more now.

The era of Big Data is here. And the new currency in the enterprise is data and insights. Innovative internet and web companies have built their success with the innovations in social web, open-source software platforms, agile application development and Big Data technologies. See how enterprise organizations can expand their Big Data opportunities to drive greater business insights and economic value

Hosted by SiliconAngle and Wikibon, this pre-show discusses the next wave of Big Data. See how EMC's new products and services all have a singular goal - to enable organizations to derive greater insight and economic value from Big Data – datasets so large they break traditional IT infrastructures.

Organizations across sectors are faced with a major challenge beyond the massive amount of data being generated. It’s unclear which technology mix provides the operational and business agility required for deriving maximum value from big data – so most organizations continue to work with limited point solutions or traditional BI tools.

Learn why big data productivity requires an upgrade to a purpose-built, unified analytics platform and how bringing this capability into your organization gives you a decision advantage that will put you ahead of your competition.

The growth of big data and the continuing dramatic decline in the cost of storage and computer processing power are having a profound impact on the way business is being conducted across sectors.

This webinar focuses on the network as the fundamental technology that powers the compute and storage levels of the big data stack.

You’ll learn why low-latency, nonstop networking is essential to keeping data flowing smoothly throughout your organization and enabling timely, precise analytics that enhance your business decisions.

Big data analytics is where advanced analytic techniques operate on big data. By now its obvious that big data that is useful for analytics is quite different from the pristine and well-ordered data of the average data warehouse. Armed with advanced analytics insights, business users can make well-informed, fact-based decisions to support their organizations tactical and strategic goals and create a competitive advantage. This is an important task right now, because the recent economic recession forced deep changes into most businesses.

Going forward, organizations will need new tools and technologies to harness the power of big data analytics even if the organization has already deployed a full-blown business intelligence and data warehousing technology stack.

This webcast will help you get your arms around analytic platforms and technologies purpose-built for big data. It will also cover:
