Microsoft Chief Information Officer: Big Data not being used effectively

"The first crab-eating organization"

Microsoft's IT department, like most technology companies, is responsible for its products, this was also called by Tony Scott as "the first crab-eating organization", and every important new product release from Microsoft was first deployed by Scott's IT department for a small to large deployment test, then confirmed that it could be targeted at end users The final release.

In addition to dealing with the product development Department, Another job for Scott is to contact users.

"Microsoft will collect data from level millions of PC users in order to identify common bugs and programming flaws, using these recycled data analysis to better improve the user experience," Scott said. "But we will not collect personal information from users," he stressed repeatedly.

For the upcoming Windows 8, it is also the support of the IT department, Scott thought that this is "Microsoft's history of the Best system", "is so perfect because of the collection of large amounts of data to support its development." ”

According to Scott, at present, Microsoft IT department directly manages Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37392.html ">8000 company internal server, 300,000 networking equipment, The daily e-mail flow reached 6 million, supporting more than 1300 kinds of Microsoft enterprise applications.

Large Data wasted

In Scott's view, there are two distinct differences between large and regular data, one is mass and the other is response speed. "Large data use traditional tools often take several months to complete analysis, and the application of large data tools, less than 1 seconds to get the same results." ”

Large data applications not only stay in the IT field, in medicine, science, manufacturing and meteorology and other industries, there are massive data applications, if the rational use of these resources, the industry will bring huge impetus, but at present, large data applications are far from enough.

According to foreign reports, most companies use only 0.5% of the total data collected to make decisions, which means most of the data is wasted. Scott argues that inefficient use of data creates huge business opportunities, "and some companies are now recycling data for analysis before selling it to other companies." ”

If you throw away more data than you keep, how to filter the data, how long the data will last, and the problems that need to be faced by companies and regulators, Scott believes there is still a lack of a framework for large data applications.

The application of large data is closely related to cloud computing, Scott in front of the media also reiterated Microsoft's cloud strategy, "We and competitors, the main" combination boxing ", for users, can choose the public cloud, private cloud, outsourcing cloud or internal cloud, large data, but also support public/private cloud large data services.
