The Foamy Rules for Rabid Tools

Not big trees — 10 to 15 feet tall, six-inch trunks. Not a problem. I live on the edge of a redwood forest in Northern California. There are sturdy oaks, playful maples, lovely madrones, weed-like bay laurels, and, of course, giant redwoods. But the pleasure of living in a forest has a tax. You need a chainsaw. Then there’s Marty. Last, there’s the Rocket. Even if you’ve never handled a chainsaw, you’ve probably used a handsaw. When Marty and I showed up, we dropped all five trees, cut up the trunks and branches, and stacked them into disposable piles in an hour. The lesson: the correct tool is exponentially more productive. That’s a long introduction to say an obvious thing, but I’m going to make it even longer.

What is big data?

The data is too big, moves too fast, or doesn’t fit the strictures of your database architectures. To gain value from this data, you must choose an alternative way to process it. The hot IT buzzword of 2012, big data has become viable as cost-effective approaches have emerged to tame the volume, velocity and variability of massive data. Within this data lie valuable patterns and information, previously hidden because of the amount of work required to extract them. To leading corporations, such as Walmart or Google, this power has been in reach for some time, but at fantastic cost. The value of big data to an organization falls into two categories: analytical use, and enabling new products. The past decade’s successful web startups are prime examples of big data used as an enabler of new products and services. What does big data look like? Volume Velocity Why is that so? Variety In practice.
