Architecting for Access: Simplifying Analytics on Big Data Infrastructure

January 22, 2019

Providing a full end-to-end solution requires not only evaluating a dozen or so technologies for each tier, but also looking at their many permutations. And at each juncture, we must remember we’re not just building technology for technology’s sake we’re hoping to provide analytics (often in near real time) that drive insight, action, and better decision making. Making decisions based on “data, not opinions” is the end game, and the technologies we choose must always be focused on that. It’s a dizzying task. Only by looking at the past, present, and future of the technologies can we have any hope of providing a realistic view of the challenges and possible solutions. This article is meant to be both an exploration of how the analytics ecosystem has evolved into what it is, as well as a glimpse into the future of both analytics and the systems behind it. By starting from both ends, we hope to arrive in the middle the present with a pragmatic list of requirements for an analytics stack that will deal with anything you can throw at it today and tomorrow. Before we can look at the requirements for a frontend analytics tool, however, it’s paramount that we look at the reality of the backend.

Effective Data Management Is Essential for Taming the 5G Network Complexity Beast

whitePaper | September 26, 2022

Communications service provider (SP) traffic volumes are progressively increasing as networks evolve, user devices gain greater capacity, and applications engaging with advanced network data such as that from the 5G standalone (5G SA) network exposure function (NEF) start to deliver on customer expectations. Cloudification of network functions — virtualized network functions (VNFs) and cloud-native network functions (CNFs) — is placing new burdens on old systems and processes not designed to manage intent-based network architecture. Silos of data locked within many installed systems keep transformation efforts from reaching anticipated objectives.

4 Powerful Reasons Why Your Organization Benefits With Data Sharing

whitePaper | October 18, 2022

We talk about striving to be data driven. But in doing so, we’ve skipped an important step. Today, we must first aspire to be data-sharing organizations. That means becoming businesses where data is easily and proactively shared with every relevant person. Otherwise, there will be no driving possible. We’ll be left in the dust, lacking the gas — the data — to fuel us ahead in the digital economy. Gartner® said, “According to the Sixth Annual Gartner Chief Data Officer Survey,1 respondents who successfully increased data sharing led D&A teams that were 1.7 times more effective at showing demonstrable, verifiable value to D&A stakeholders.”
