Building Big Data Solutions
Continuuity, NuoDB, wise.io, Vertascale, BizCloud ®
Date: Wednesday February 06, 2013
Description: If you are a developer, you are no doubt seeing the big data technologies space become more fragmented with more industry-specific, data-specific, introductory, or advanced solutions. Have innovations specifically relating to Hadoop or NoSQL truly spurred the rise of big data technologies? How "interoperable" do these big data solutions need to be? If I'm a developer looking to understand the big data space, what are the fundamental technologies I need to know?
Speakers: Seth Proctor, Geoffrey Hendrey, Vahid Razavi, Jonathan Gray, Joshua Bloom
