Increasing Agility Through Data VirtualizationDenodo
During the Data Summit Conference in New York, our CMO Ravi Shankar and BJ Fesq, Chief Data Officer at CIT Group, were discussing the modernization of data architectures with data virtualization.
This presentation explores how data virtualization is being used to dramatically reduce data proliferation and ensure that all consumers are working with a single source of the truth. It also looks at how data virtualization can drive standardization, measure and improve data quality, abstract data consumers from data providers, expose data lineage, enable cross-company data integration, and serve as a common provisioning point from which to access all authoritative sources of data.

This content was presented during the Smart Data Summit Dubai 2015 in the UAE on May 25, 2015, by Jesus Barrasa, Senior Solutions Architect at Denodo Technologies.
In the era of Big Data, IoT, Cloud and Social Media, Information Architects are forced to rethink how to tackle data management and integration in the enterprise. Traditional approaches based on data replication and rigid information models lack the flexibility to deal with this new hybrid reality. New data sources and an increasing variety of consuming applications, like mobile apps and SaaS, add more complexity to the problem of delivering the right data, in the right format, and at the right time to the business. Data Virtualization emerges in this new scenario as the key enabler of agile, maintainable and future-proof data architectures.

Logical Data Warehouse: The Foundation of Modern Data and AnalyticsDenodo
Watch full webinar here: https://buff.ly/2Vhew78
According to a leading analyst firm, the total spend in data and analytics is expected to reach $104 billion in 2019! Companies are investing in data warehouse modernization and data lake projects for descriptive and advanced analytics; however, for the analysis to be holistic, today’s architects weave disparate data streams together, not only from these analytical sources, but also from operational, third party, and streaming data sources. Logical data warehouse is a modern architectural methodology that virtually combines all the data across the enterprise and makes it available to analytical and visualization tools that facilitate timely, insightful, and impactful decisions throughout the enterprise.
In this session, you will learn:
*What is logical data warehouse and how to architect one
*The benefits of logical data warehouse – speed with agility
*The Insights Development Workbench – a framework in action
Minimizing the Complexities of Machine Learning with Data VirtualizationDenodo
Watch full webinar here: https://buff.ly/309CZ1Y
Advanced data science techniques, like machine learning, have proven an extremely useful tool to derive valuable insights from existing data. Platforms like Spark, and complex libraries for R, Python and Scala put advanced techniques at the fingertips of the data scientists. However, these data scientists spent most of their time looking for the right data and massaging it into a usable format. Data virtualization offers a new alternative to address these issues in a more efficient and agile way.
Attend this webinar and learn:
*How data virtualization can accelerate data acquisition and massaging, providing the data scientist with a powerful tool to complement their practice
*How popular tools from the data science ecosystem: Spark, Python, Zeppelin, Jupyter, etc. integrate with Denodo
*How you can use the Denodo Platform with large data volumes in an efficient way
*About the success McCormick has had as a result of seasoning the Machine Learning and Blockchain Landscape with data virtualization
SOA with Data Virtualization (session 4 from Packed Lunch Webinar Series)Denodo
A robust SOA infrastructure is the lifeblood to application and process integration within the organization. However, the SOA stack (ESB, BPM, CEP, and so on) has often not mixed well with the traditional data integration stack – in most cases, data integration has been the ‘poor cousin’ in this relationship. Data Virtualization allows you to easily and quickly create a virtual data services layer to integrate cleanly into your SOA infrastructure – and also support new initiatives, such as mobile and cloud applications

Big Data with Data Virtualization (session 3 from Packed Lunch Webinar Series)Denodo
Over the last couple of years, Big Data has been big news. If you read the press, it seems that everyone is using Big Data – either that or they are getting left behind. However, the Big Data products, such as Hadoop, are not for the faint-hearted! They introduce new technologies, new data models, and new non-standard APIs into your data infrastructure. This runs the risk of creating more data silos, integration problems, and data governance nightmares. Data Virtualization can eliminate these risks and allow all users to leverage your Big Data assets.

ICRISAT and HarvestPlus signed an agreement for scientific and technical collaboration between the two global organizations. Mr Arun Baral, CEO, HarvestPlus, and Dr Jacqueline d’Arros Hughes, Director General, ICRISAT, signed the Memorandum of Understanding, which is made and entered into by IFPRI on behalf of its HarvestPlus Program. On the occasion, Dr Hughes said, After 17 years of fruitful collaboration on biofortification research, we have now decided to elevate this partnership. ICRISAT and HarvestPlus will work together more closely, making available micronutrient-rich varieties, high-quality seed and related technologies to the farming communities and consumers. This will contribute to eliminating micronutrient malnutrition in the drylands.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
