Data 101

9:00am–12:30pm in 3D 06/07
Edd Dumbill

The data ecosystem has matured to the point where the pluses and minuses of distributed systems are clear, and best practices for building and managing both the human and the technical side of a big data program have emerged. Now is the time to step back and take a fresh look at the options. Whether starting a data science program, reaching the breaking point with your current data technology, or figuring out what the competition is up to, these sessions will give you a bird’s-eye view of data technologies, techniques, and data-driven organizations.

Architecting a Data Platform

1:30pm–5:00pm in 3D 03/10
John Akred, Stephen O’Sullivan & Gary Dusbabek

What are the essential components of a data platform? This tutorial will explain how the various parts of the Hadoop and big data ecosystem fit together in production to create a data platform supporting batch, interactive, and real-time analytical workloads.

Developing a Modern Enterprise Data Strategy

1:30pm–5:00pm in 3D 05/08
Edd Dumbill & Scott Kurth

Big data and data science have great potential for accelerating business, but how do you reconcile the business opportunity with the sea of possible technical solutions? Fundamentally, data should serve the strategic imperatives of a business—those key strategic aspirations that define the future vision for an organization. A data strategy should guide your organization in two key areas—which actions your business should take to get started with data, and where to start to realize the most value.
