I’ll be explaining how large scale graph analytics can harness the power of ‘big data’ and bring business-focused solutions to enterprises by exploring patterns in data to prompt new questions and enable new business insight.

I’ll be joined by Ilya Shmulevich, who serves as a professor for the Institute for Systems Biology and directs a Genome Data Analysis Center as part of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Ilya will explain how ISB is using graph analytics and data discovery to accelerate advances in cancer treatment by identifying existing drugs which are candidates to be re-purposed to treat cancer.

As the worlds of business intelligence and big data begin to converge, just getting information from traditional sources like databases and data warehouses is not going to deliver a complete view of what’s impacting your business.

To truly get a 360 degree view of what’s driving your business today you are going to need to deal with data volume, velocity and variety in your business intelligence solutions.

This means incorporating information from unstructured and semi-structured sources like external reports, PDF files, EDI streams, Log files, XBRL sources and a host of other data types that are part of the fabric of today’s information potpourri.

I will discuss the origins of big data and how it is changing the database landscape and how 451 Research’s related concept of Total Data, describing new approaches to processing and analyzing data, can help you to think big but start small to get your big data projects up and running.

O’ll be joined by Jon Pilkington, VP of Products from Datawatch, who will describe how Datawatch can help you spice up your BI and Big Data solutions with the Datawatch Information Optimization platform.

The format is a little different to the presentations and webinars we usually get involved with, but the three-hour timescale gives us the opportunity to do a really deep dive into the trend of big data, its associated technologies, and the potential impact on the data management landscape. As such the session could effectively be titled ‘everything you ever wanted to know about big data in 180 minutes’.

Attendees will have exclusive access to our latest thoughts and concepts in this fast-moving space. The workshop is aimed at anyone with an interest in the concept of big data, its related technologies and how it will affect their business, and will give you:

  • A thorough, hype-free introduction to the concept of ‘big data’
  • An overview of the technical, business and cultural trends that are changing the way enterprises store, process and analyse data
  • An understanding of how ‘big data’ technologies complement and/or compete with traditional data warehousing and analytics technologies
  • Examples of enterprise deployments of Hadoop and related best practices
  • An overview of how search and machine-learning technologies relate to ‘big data’

There will also be coffee :-)

I will also be providing An Overview of Big Data during the main Enterprise Search Europe Conference Programme on Thursday at 9am, but those who attend the workshop on Tuesday will get the really good stuff.

However, the database underlying these applications is often a major obstacle to success with agile development.

On Wednesday, May 8, at 9:00am PT I’ll be taking part in a webinar with Delphix to discuss incompatibilities between relational databases and agile methodologies, potential use and applicability of new database systems, and methods for achieving greater success in applying agile methods to database-driven development.

In particular I’ll be discussing:

  • Agile development overview
  • Relational databases and agile development
  • Agile as a driver for alternative databases
  • Agility and consistency – the best of both worlds?

Although much of the focus of big data relates to volume, the velocity of data – combined with increased frequency of analysis – is driving requirements for real-time analytics so enterprises can drive new business opportunities and create a competitive advantage.

I’ll be discussing the forces driving the emergence of ‘operational intelligence’ as a means of generating real-time insight into how a business is performing, and will be joined by MemSQL CEO, Erik Frenkiel.

Between us we will discuss how to:

  • Scale an in-memory analytics solution for sub-second responses on terabytes of real-time and recent historical data.
  • Reduce time-to-value by using existing SQL skills for real-time analytics.
  • Solve real-time Big Data analytics challenges such as network security, operational analytics, risk management and marketing campaign optimization.
  • Leverage real-time operational intelligence to make data-driven decisions.
  • Minimize costs with horizontal scale-out on commodity hardware.
