In this session we will take a look at some of the key emerging technology trends and drivers that are impacting the “business” of IT and help you find a safe harbor to not only help you stay on top of, but ahead of these fast moving technology waves.
Design Pattern Automation
Software development projects are becoming bigger and more complex every day. The more complex a project the more likely the cost of developing and maintaining the software will far outweigh the hardware cost. There's a super-linear relationship between the size of software and the cost of developing and maintaining it. After all, large and complex software requires good engineers to develop and maintain it and good engineers are hard to come by and expensive to keep around.
How Ford is Putting Hadoop Pedal to the Metal
“For us, it all boils down to functionality; big data is a problem that we need to get over to get to the analytics, but we need flexibility and ease of use so we can just get right to extracting the data and applying our analytics on the backend.” At the core of this statement is what will really differentiate vendor offerings for Ford’s Hadoop engine;
Why Is Apple’s Stock Falling?
The market scene purely reflects the sentiments from Apple's shareholders. Investors are dumping their stock as financial pundits and growth investors are predicting that Apple's growth seems far too limited, given the current scenario. While several investors are still keen on seeing Apple enter and revolutionize another product category. So when some investors dump their stock (and these are the big ones), someone else must take it and these are - more of price conscious buyers - who won't put a great price tag on the stock.

Walmart Makes Big Data Part of Its DNA
Walmart started using big data even before the term big data became known in the industry and in 2012 they moved from an experiential 10-node Hadoop cluster to a 250-node Hadoop cluster. At the same time they developed new tools to migrate their existing data on Oracle, Netezza and Greenplum hardware to their own systems. The objective was to consolidate 10 different websites into one website and store all incoming data in the new Hadoop cluster.
