Zhang Zhenlen: What new dowry is needed to marry big data

When Guoda, the data is big also should find a destination. Some people say that big data is the apple of cloud computing, the place of the princess. Although the emperor's daughter does not worry about marrying, but the big data is not as good as the virtual Lori best-selling, everyone in hot discussion big data, once want to talk about marriage, many people seem to have a marriage phobia. Do not doubt the big data is not enough charm, because the big data although it makes people's imagination, but the big data of the wedding night full of suspicious.

Just the past 2012 is really big data of the year, the matchmaker seems to have broken the threshold of each data center, we have a large data generated infinite curiosity and reverie.

The definition of large data is no longer a problem, four "V" features like four beauty moles have been widely accepted, large data can produce great value of the thesis also gradually change the thinking of everyone, but this great value how to connect with themselves? Many data centers still do not have a clear answer, it seems only the Internet, electric dealers and other boys are happy to enjoy large data tenderness. How can large data and enterprise data centers create a beautiful story?

IDC predicts that the next 10 years of data will grow 50 times times, with unstructured data accounting for more than 90%. Not only does the increase in data allow us to face a series of challenges such as storage, retrieval and so on, unstructured data also makes traditional RDBMS helpless. At the same time, the data lifecycle is also undergoing revolutionary changes, moving from traditional crud (create-read-update-delete) to Crap (create-read-append-process), where large amounts of data accumulate from generation to Add to the processing, so that large data in any industry will proliferate, spread, not with our will for the transfer. Of course, the processing speed of the data also raised a higher demand, traditional business intelligence (BI) may only report several times a week, a month, or even a year, and now the growing business competition makes every enterprise want to be able to see the report and the result data at any time, this is a Marca fast cake or grazing time. This is the fast data (Fastdata), is the large data of the personal servant girl, consider marrying large data can not forget fast data.

Cloud computing is the first time the big data that hides the Internet's boudoir into the public eye, but many corporate data centers have been spooked by some of the Internet geek's assertions, such as the fact that a few days ago there was a hype on Weibo: A factory's data for the past ten years may not be as good as the amount of data Taobao has in a day, so there is no big data at all in manufacturing. Whose food is the big data? Is it not the fate of many of our business data centers? In fact, the big data is around us, we send emails, shopping, internet search data, such as the behavior of the record is large data, the factory machine GPS data, maintenance records, etc. are also large data, product sales records, customer behavior habits and other data are also large; mine, weather and other data is also large data; Safe City IoT is big data ...... Real big data everywhere, some say software is eating the world, I want to say that data is also drowning the world, each data center should consider to marry big data.

UNIX servers, enterprise-class storage, network, security, RDBMS is our common five-piece set to deal with data storage, management and other challenges, but today's traditional five-piece has been unable to meet the needs of large data, not big data too arrogant extravagant, but large data really need a new dowry to become a clever daughter-in-law, What's the new dowry for marrying big data?

First, UNIX server/Enterprise storage will go with the cloud. UNIX server/Enterprise storage was once the foundation platform for any enterprise application, but with the advent of the Internet, the high price and narcissistic character of UNIX server/enterprise storage are becoming more and more unacceptable, x86 server/cheap cloud storage is becoming the cornerstone of cloud application, Whether it's large or fast data, are x86 platform/cheap cloud storage fans, the dowry must not be less; second, the network and security also with the cloud and new, software definition of the network SDN the wind blew up the traditional network, cloud security also put on the important agenda of any cloud project. Without the wide chest (SDN) and strong arms, how can you care for large data this heigh? Therefore, SDN and cloud security can not be less, and finally, RDBMS Laojifuli can not be forgotten. Today is still the backbone of structured data processing, but to overcome the challenges of the cloud, even the veteran is equipped with new armor, the database is the service and memory database will become its New Jersey.

In addition, unstructured territory to the new generation of Hadoop and other war to take care of, but also to be equipped with additional analytical tools to win modern warfare, the bride of the data center. Of course, the new analysis tools will be tailored to different needs, which also provides a new battlefield for domestic IT companies.

Don't let big data become leftover data, brave your chest, bold to say your love of large data, I believe that large data will eagerly put into your arms, you will enjoy the big data of the soft dreamland.
