Data and the analytics applications that draw out the value from that data have become a non-negotiable component of every successful business. But understanding, tracking, and managing the real use of that data remains a big challenge for most organizations. It’s about more than an understanding of the underlying data in the database and how it gets accessed and how it’s performing. Explains Teleran CEO Nathan Roseman, “At the application layer, organizations need to...

With all the benefits of Oracle Exadata, why do some people still run Oracle databases on other platforms? That’s a question I’ve been pondering, and while there is no single answer, a common perception is that Exadata is too expensive. In this post, we discuss the economics of operating databases and show why Exadata has the lowest Total Cost of Ownership for most enterprises. The disconnect between those who believe Exadata is more expensive and those who believe it is...

IDC predicts that by 2025, the world will produce 175 ZB of data, up from about 33 ZB at the end of last year. That’s a staggering growth rate of 61 percent. IDC Senior VP David Reinsel explains that one zettabyte equals a trillion gigabytes. If you multiply that by 175, you realize that’s an almost incomprehensible amount of data. But the only data that really matters is your business’ data. Your business doesn’t run without it. It also represents a big chunk of your IT...

The future of data is in the cloud. But for organizations that must keep at least some of their data behind a firewall for business, regulatory, or network latency requirements, migrating this critical data to the public cloud is not an option. Introduced two years ago, Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is designed to help these organizations easily move business critical database workloads to a cloud architecture and remove the obstacles to cloud adoption while still keeping...

There has been a lot of hype since Intel introduced Optane persistent memory (PMEM). To cut through the confusing vendor assertions requires a brief overview of what PMEM is and what it is not. Optane PMEM comes in two flavors. The first is a non-volatile memory dual inline memory module (NVDIMM). The second is a NVMe SSD form factor more commonly called storage class memory (SCM). The Optane PMEM value comes from lower latency, higher performance than NAND Flash, with...

By Marc Staimer Ground-breaking changes are happening on the edge of computing. We’re long past the days when all analytics can be centralized in datacenters or even in the cloud. It’s an increasingly decentralized world where analytics has to take place in real time right where individual sensors are, or in the fog when there’s a need to collect information from multiple devices for fast insights. We recently sat down to talk with renowned technology consultant Marc Staimer...

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has made it possible to collect and analyze data, and respond, in real time. Think about an autonomous vehicle that encounters an obstacle ahead. There must be a split-second response that determines whether that obstacle is a shadow or a person in the road. In a case like this, there’s no room for error, and no room for latency. Latency, a.k.a. delay, is the enemy of response time. To make this real-time response happen, the...

We spoke with Bryan Amaral, founder and CEO of Clientricity, LLC, a boutique retail consultancy based in Atlanta and New York, to capture his insights on emerging technology trends in retail for both brick-and-mortar stores and ecommerce. Lately, headlines about the retail sector conjure apocalyptic images populated by empty storefronts and deserted shopping malls. But reports of retail’s death are greatly exaggerated, to paraphrase Mark Twain. What’s happening isn’t...
