Data analytics isn’t a destination. It’s a journey.

 By Attila Finta

At Dell EMC, we advise our customers that data analytics isn’t a destination. It’s a journey that proceeds through a series of phases that build on each other. Or, to use another metaphor, we liken the adoption of data analytics in an enterprise to an evolutionary process, in which an organization begins with the launch of a limited environment that scales up and matures in a natural manner. Over time, what started out as a few narrowly targeted use cases gives way to the widespread use of analytics across an enterprise that grows increasingly data-driven.

That was certainly the experience that we had in the internal IT organization at the heritage Dell company, and now at Dell EMC. Early on, we put ourselves on the path to becoming a data-driven enterprise when we designed and deployed our first Apache™ Hadoop® cluster. Our first use case was basic. We eased the load on our enterprise data warehouse by archiving data to Hadoop.

3 favorite wearables of 2017 (so far)

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

In the past three months, I’ve tested a traditional-looking watch that tracks my steps. A headband that measures my heart rate. And a new Fitbit that tracks my sleep patterns in-depth.

It’s not been a ground-breaking year thus far, in terms of wearable technological advancements. Still, among the activity trackers released in 2017, I can enthusiastically recommend the following.

1. Fitbit Alta HR

Alta HR ($150 to $180) is Fitbit’s latest device, an attractively svelte wristband that also offers continuous heart rate tracking. (Most wristbands that track heart rate are comparatively chunkier.)

As computing changes, Intel takes a fresh approach to chip design

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

For more than 30 years, Intel has made a name with its CPUs, which rule the PC and server markets. Chip advances have helped Intel make devices smaller, faster, and more power-efficient.

Computing is now spreading into cars, robots, drones, smart devices, and a wide range of other electronics. Chip requirements have changed with new hardware and applications like artificial intelligence and graphics.

Intel is preparing for the future and making big changes in the way it designs chips. It is realizing that CPUs aren't a big enough business model and has acquired a wide variety of chips to put into devices. The company is even researching quantum computers and neuromorphic chips.

Serverless explainer: The next generation of cloud infrastructure

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The first thing to know about serverless computing is that "serverless" is a pretty bad name to call it.

Contrary to the vernacular, the technology that has burst onto the cloud computing scene in the past two years still does in fact run on servers. The name serverless instead highlights the fact that end users don’t have to manage servers that run their code anymore.
