a new contract with it – get us the data!
DESCRIPTION
The Briefing Room with William McKnight and Cisco Live Webcast on September 16, 2014 Watch the archive: https://bloorgroup.webex.com/bloorgroup/lsr.php?RCID=bfc650d635627934e9765ca920bf6a89 Since the dawn of Information Technology, the primary job of IT professionals revolved around the software: installing, upgrading, modifying, keeping it running. But as the business becomes more IT-savvy, and as self-service tools proliferate, there’s a new direction coming into view. You might call it a new contract with IT, one that focuses on delivering data as a primary responsibility. Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear Analyst William McKnight explain how this new data-driven reality can help transform a business. He’ll be briefed by David Besemer of Cisco, who will demonstrate how his company’s data virtualization solution can provision all kinds of data, big and small, to the spectrum of business users. He’ll also explain how data virtualization can be used to augment other data delivery practices such as data warehousing and Big Data analytics.

THE EVER-EXPANDING DATA WAREHOUSE
• Enterprise Data Warehouse users face huge annual upgrade expenses
• To avoid this spend, organizations are looking for lower cost alternatives.
• Movement of data to tape not desired, because data is offline and not available for analytics
• Moving infrequently used data to Hadoop is a cost-effective, online option that preserves ability to query

DATA VIRTUALIZATION
“The right answer is not always to centralize the data. Data Virtualization will be of utmost importance as the ‘perpetual short-term’ solution to the need.”
DATA WAREHOUSE EXPANSION
Offload data to less expensive Hadoop cluster to save on data management costs
2
As data volume
increases exponentially,
cost of warehousing
rises also
Add operational data for greater insight and
agility in analytics and BI

Does an enterprise strategy of “best fit” platform create heterogeneous systems, which causes a need for virtualization?
When will we see master data virtualized with big data to add enterprise context to big data?
With seemingly every BI vendor claiming data virtualization capabilities, why does an organization need a separate tool for data virtualization?
What are some valuable virtualizations you’ve seen lately that are not obvious use cases?
How do businesses analyze a combination of structured and unstructured data?
Organization-wise, one of my clients has a center of excellence for data virtualization that incorporates data sources into DataVirt and supports its use
enterprise-wide. Good idea?
