![]() Pensando Systems continues to raise the bar on this theme by providing high performance networking, security, and monitoring services for applications running in enterprise or cloud datacenters. Companies like Nutanix, Nicira, Avi Networks enabled their customers to build highly automated, software-defined stacks to run their applications. This is, after all, part of the big promise of Big Data.Today Pensando Systems came out of stealth announcing an industry leading platform that helps enterprises and cloud providers build high performance data centers with security and observability built into the infrastructure.īringing web scale infrastructure benefits to enterprise and cloud providers has been a key investment theme at Lightspeed for the last decade. Want to save Detroit? Then let's identify the dependable cars and rid of the world of lemons.ĭon't get me wrong, there are some subjective lists that I really like - any of David Letterman's top 10 lists, the best and worst dressed at the Academy Awards, and of course George Carlin's timeless "7 words you can't say on TV." But in this new era of Big Data, we now have the technology to create lists that truly inform society in their day to day decisions. We can update the auto reliability index daily. Let's track every type of car driven in the U.S., and record every time they go in for a non-routine service. ![]() The most reliable and unreliable cars.That will reduce our healthcare costs and improve medical care. Forget ObamaCare, my healthcare plan is to take the bottom 10% of doctors and re-train them to be productive members of society in a different occupation. I don't think anyone should have to go to a doctor in the bottom decile. and compare that against the entire data set. We'll compute the number of days it takes to treat (or not treat) a patient for each specific illness, the accuracy of diagnosis, etc. Let's measure every doctor, over all of his or her patients. Republican or Democrat, I don't want to vote for a dishonest politician. Let's take every Federal, state, and local politicians record of everything they say or represent in public, run a sophisticated fact check algorithm in real-time, and come up with an "honesty quotient." We'll see which politicians represent the truth and which bend the facts. My hope is that data scientists, with the help of the technology now available to them, will make subjective lists a thing of the past and give us real information utility.įor starters, here are 3 lists I'd like to see: So why don't we take Sergey and Larry's bright idea and apply it to everyday life, bringing Big Data to the masses. Sure, I understand sample sizes, statistics and extrapolation, but we live in a world where we don't need samples - we can now capture and analyze the entire data set. Google taught us that if we index the entire Web, we get much better results. My partner John Vrionis likes to say that "data beats math.” He's right. Best of all, it’s relatively easy and affordable to use these technologies companies can even rent computers in the cloud to run analytics for virtually nothing. These technologies make it possible to capture vast amounts of data and analyze them in the blink of an eye. There is a ton of hype - and I am sure a few lists - around Big Data, but the basic value is pretty simply. It's called Big Data - or more specifically, technologies like Hadoop, MongoDb, and Cassandra. Fortunately, we have the technology to change this. Let’s face it: the majority of today’s lists are useless.
