Deploying Advanced Analytics at Genentech

Geospatial data is everywhere today. Your mapping capabilities need to handle the growing volumes of “big data” to deliver location-based insights at any level. Large-scale mapping use cases require a scalable and real-time visualization platform that enables self-service analysis. End users need a fast, interactive system that can immediately display any view of their data on demand.

Today, most web and mobile applications are limited to “lightweight” analytics because general-purpose databases can be optimized for transactional or analytical workloads, but not both – and since transactional processing is critical, applications have to compromise on analytics. However, what if an e-commerce application could let customers know which products are soon to be sold out based on clickstream data, shopping carts, current inventory and recent purchases as well as historical buying patterns and emerging shopping trends? In this webinar, attendees will learn how to leverage MariaDB ColumnStore to provide transactional applications with real-time analytics on historical data.

Do you have data governance on your mind? Do you envision an environment where people are held formally accountable for the data they define, produce and use? Does metadata play a big role in that governed environment? Of course, it does. To manage any “thing” requires that you have quality information about that thing. Join Bob Seiner, of KIK Consulting and TDAN.com, with Gal Alon, Senior Director of Business Development for an industry leading metadata management automation software provider Octopai, as they discuss the who’s, what’s, why’s and how’s of automating and leveraging your metadata environment to successfully govern your organization’s data. Bob and Gal will spend the hour chatting about the role metadata management plays in data governance as well as discuss specific use cases to improve probability of Data Governance success.

In modern data architectures, we’re increasingly moving from single node design systems to distributed architectures using multiple nodes often spread across multiple databases and multiple continents. Such architectures bring many benefits (such as scalability and resiliency), but can also bring a lot of pain if incorrectly architected.
