Big Data vs. Business Intelligence vs. Customer Intelligence
Big Data vs. Business Intelligence vs. Customer Intelligence
In this video from McKinsey and Company, Shashi Upadhyay explains how Big Data can provide forward-looking insights for businesses, whereas customer intelligence and business intelligence have traditionally focused on past data. By starting with the problem your company is trying to solve (e.g. improve conversion rates, improve cross-sell rates, attract more prospects, etc.), your company will not need to focus on a large BI project.

Three Essential Steps to Big Data Success
If you’re going to start a Big Data project, there are a few foundational steps to success you should know. While there’s a lot of advice about starting or succeeding with Big Data, much of it is actually about data management in general.

Meet DSSD, Andy Bechtolsheim’s secret chip startup for big data
The DSSD system sounds like it treats files not as a series of bits but as an object that gets a name. That name is the file’s address and it stays the same for the life of the file. The result is there’s no central index that stands between sending the data to storage and storing it, and people can write to it in parallel and not worry abut overwrites. It is both faster and can scale out.
