The Briefing Room with Mark Madsen and Hortonworks Slides from the Live Webcast on Oct. 16, 2012 The power of Hadoop cannot be denied, as evidenced by the fact that all the biggest closed-source vendors in the world of data management have embraced this open-source project with virtually open arms. But Hadoop is not a data warehouse, nor ever will it likely be. Rather, it's ideal role for now is to augment traditional data warehousing and business intelligence. As an adjunct, Hadoop provides an amazing mechanism for storing and analyzing Big Data. The key is to manage expectations and move forward carefully. Check out this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Mark Madsen of Third Nature, who will explain how, where, when and why to leverage the open-source elephant in the enterprise. He'll be briefed by Jim Walker of Hortonworks who will tout his company's vision for the future of Big Data management. He'll provide details on their data platform and how it can be used to complete the picture of information management. He'll also discuss how the Hortonworks partner network can help companies get big value from Big Data. Visit: http://www.insideanalysis.com

To kick off the Big Data for Enterprise IT Day, we present two views of big data. Is it truly something new, or just an evolution of what we have already? Join us for an interesting and entertaining talk that will help frame your thinking on big data. We take on the roles of former bosses: the techno-lustful and the luddite, and debate the key talking points put forth in the market. An earlier video of this talk can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnHHOWz5uvM

The Mythology of Big Data

The State of Open Source BI Adoption

mark madsen

There has been a lack of substantive data about the state of open source in the business intelligence and data warehousing market. In this presentation noted industry analyst Mark Madsen will present the results of recent market research on adoption profiles and characteristics for open source BI/DW. This research surveyed adopters of open source to understand their reasons for adoption and the benefits they experienced. It also captured user demographics to identify who is adopting open source for BI/DW, where they are deploying it, and how it’s being used. Two highly experienced open source BI practitioners, Bruce Belvin (President, Monolith Software Solutions) and Jay Webster (President and COO at Consorte Media) will describe their BI implementations, their criteria and selection methodology, and share best practices.

Wake up and smell the data

mark madsen

Big data is a big part of the disruption hitting this market, but not in the way most people think. It's not replacing the data warehouse, but it is changing the technology stack. It doesn't eliminate data management, but it does redefine enterprise data architecture. Big data is and isn't many things. It's important to understand which information uses are well supported and which have yet to be addressed. Otherwise you risk replacing one set of problems with another. Come to this session to hear some observations on what big data is, isn't and aspires to be. A video is available, starts at 1:03 into this Strata online event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLsHI1ZglKw

Using Data Virtualization to Integrate With Big Data

mark madsen

Hadoop and big data don't sit as an island in organizations. To analyze event streams and similar data requires integrating with other data from systems in the organization. This isn't easy with big data systems today because there are disparities in the technoogies and environments when compared to traditional IT. Data virtualization is one way to smooth over the integration and allow Hadoop to access other data, or allow SQL-oriented tools to access Hadoop

Exploring cloud for data warehousing

mark madsen

Cloud computing is creating a new era for IT by providing a set of services that appear to have infinite capacity, immediate deployment and high availability at trivial cost. These are all appealing to someone running a data warehouse when data volume, use and cost are growing at a rapid rate. Today most organizations look at cloud as a way to lower data center and IT costs. While cost reduction is a real benefit, there is more value in the increased scalability, speed to procure (and give up) resources, and ease of delivery in cloud environments. Database workloads are particularly challenging in the cloud. Cloud deployments beyond a moderate scale favor shared-nothing database architectures designed to run transparently in a multi-node environment. We are still in an early period of standardization and design of software to run in the cloud. Not all workloads are suitable for deployment on a collection of small virtualized servers today. Business intelligence and analytic database workloads fall into this area, raising the importance of analysis for fit with public and private cloud options.

Open Data: Free Data Isn't the Same as Freeing Data

The problems of scale, speed, persistence and context are the most important design problem we'll have to deal with during the next decade. Scale because we're creating and recording more data than at any time in human history – much of it of dubious value, but none of it obviously value-less. Speed because data flows now. Ceaselessly. In high volume. It has to be persisted in multiple latencies, from milliseconds to decades. And context because the context of creation is different from the context of transmission is different from the context of use. There are a lot of red herrings, false premises and just-plain-dementia that get in the way of us seeing the problem clearly. We must work through what we mean by "structured" and "unstructured", what we mean by “big data” and why we need new technologies to solve some of our data problems. But “new technologies” doesn’t mean reinventing old technologies while ignoring the lessons of the past. There are reasons relational databases survived while hierarchical, document and object databases were market failures, technologies that may be poised to fail again, 20 years later. What we believe about data’s structure, schema, and semantics are as important as the NoSQL and relational databases we use. The technologies impose constraints on the real problem: how we make sense of data in order to tell a computer what to do, or to inform human decisions. Most discussions of data and code lose the unconscious tradeoffs that are made when selecting these technology handcuffs.

Big Data and Bad Analogies

mark madsen

Data lakes, data exhaust, web scale, data is the new oil. Vendors are throwing new terms and analogies at us to convince us to buy their products as the market around data technologies grows. We change data persistence and transaction layers because "databases don't scale" or because data is "unstructured". If data had no structure then it wouldn't be data, it would be noise. Schema on read, schema on write, schemaless databases; they imply structure underlying the data. All data has schema, but that word may not mean what you think it means. This presentation will describe concepts of data storage and retrieval from technology prehistory (i.e. before the 1980s) and examine the design principles behind both old and new technology for managing data because sometimes post-relational is actually pre-relational. It is important to separate what is identical to things that were tried in the past from new twists on old topics that deliver new capabilities. Directly related to these topics are performance, scalability and the realities of what organizations do with data over time. All of these topics should guide architecture decisions to avoid the trap of creating technical debts that must be paid later, after systems are in place and change is difficult.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management. The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM). Speakers: Bob Boule Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics

Dorra BARTAGUIZ

After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
