Wikibon analysts Dave Vellante and Jeff Kelly interviewed Jim Giles, a Distinguished Engineer for Big Data at IBM. Jim oversees the development of the platforms Big Insights and Streams. IBM is known for its commitment to researching and then launching products. The latter, Streams, was built in the IBM Research Labs and then brought to market as a product with software group. Analyzing data in motion -- major part of our Big Data platform. And as far as Big Data, IBM actually started its Big Data platform initiative 10 years ago.
Dave Vellante sums it up best, "That's what I love about IBM, you do some real research, that stuff actually hits the market. It's not just research for research sake."
Big Data is the copious amounts of real-time and long-term data accumulated by us (consumers) utilizing technologies -- anything from your cell phone to your television. But what is Big Insights you ask? Jim Giles gave a very good description:
"One of the most important things to really talk about is the overall big data platform, and so whenever some people talk about big data they just think that means Hadoop or they just think it means whatever warehouse they happen to have. But really with IBM we're taking all of these different pieces together. We always talk about volume, variety and velocity. And so we made sure we had the right components to solve each of those different types of problems. Whether it's analyzing data in motion, whether it's analyzing data at rest, and bringing all of those different pieces together. And so that's really the strength of our IBM big data portfolio. "
This begs the question, where are customers in the big data process right now, in forms of maturity? Customers are coming in at different entry points.
Entry Point 1: There are clients that have a problem with a business process that they are working on right now that they just can't do it anymore the way they were doing it before. These clients are looking for new technologies that the can bring to bear that problem. They know what they want to do and are ready to use the technologies.
Entry Point 2: There are clients that have a whole new problem. Thus, sometimes they are just looking to kick the tires and familiarize themselves with the technologies and see what they can do for them -- what sort of new capabilities can they uncover.
Let's dig into Big Insights more. It was started in the Almaden IBM Research labs. At its root, Big Insights is a Hadoop stack, with analytics and tools for business analyst, business executives, data scientist and developers built on top of it. With Big Insights you get Apache Hadoop, whole set of analytics capabilities, work load optimizations, rich set of developer tools, and a web console. There is Big Insights basic edition, and Big Insights Enterprise.
