WANdisco Enables Data Resilience for Cloud Computing

Posted by Ventana Research on Dec 30, 2021 5:00:00 AM

Industry challenges from demand, to supply chain latency, to fulfillment have created significant impediments for retailers, vendors, suppliers and customers across the globe, without a clear end in sight. Organizations that use digital technology to access information that informs actions — or reactions — to situations that arise unexpectedly demonstrate better digital readiness. The use of cloud-based systems that provide unified access to data and analytics offer the agility to better navigate today’s unpredictable environment. But for organizations that have not yet migrated workloads from solely on-premises and are seeking to take advantage of the benefits of cloud computing, the prospect of moving all that data can be daunting and should be addressed.

Kyligence Brings Simplification to Data Processes for Analytics

Posted by Ventana Research on Dec 28, 2021 5:00:00 AM

Data platforms are designed to manage and analyze big data, enabling organizations to leverage their data to operate with greater efficiency across on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Our Analytics and Data Benchmark Research finds that while 58% are using big data in their analytics processes, less than one quarter (23%) are satisfied with their technology’s support for big data. Looking at the statistics, it is safe to say that organizations have been slow to adopt modern technology that was built to help manage and organize big data so that it can be used for analysis. With advancements in technology, organizations are now able to provide a platform that makes it easier for line of business workers to access and analyze big data.

Domino Manages Data Science Life Cycle

Posted by Ventana Research on Nov 23, 2021 5:00:00 AM

With more and more data available to analyze, organizations are realizing the value that sophisticated analyses using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) can provide. The benefits of these analyses are significant: our Dynamic Insights research on machine learning finds that organizations most often benefit through competitive advantage, but also improved customer experiences, increased sales, the ability to respond quickly to opportunities in the market, and lower costs. However, the need for specialized skills to deploy AI/ML models can stall data science initiatives. An organization’s efforts to scale data science and apply models are often complicated by a lack of self-service access to infrastructure, tools and data.

Virtualizing Data Architectures for Hybrid Cloud-Computing

Posted by Ventana Research on Nov 4, 2021 5:00:00 AM

The virtualization of business and the evolution of digital transformation to applications and systems that operate in cloud computing — or the “as-a-service” environment — has fragmented enterprise and data architectures. The role of cloud computing has become a utility to provide elastic resources in support of operational needs. For example, data in the cloud requirements are provided by third-party vendors, managing security and storage of data outside the organization.

Solace Event-Driven Architecture Enables Hybrid Cloud Computing

Posted by Ventana Research on Oct 21, 2021 5:00:00 AM

When you think about it, events are at the very core of computing, right down to the simplest if-then operation in a spreadsheet. Each event leads to a set of choices, often binary, which then become events in themselves. As computing has become more ubiquitous and has developed into the architecture upon which all business and commerce runs, the events themselves have become more consequential and more numerous. There’s still an event, and each "if" still leads to a "then," but now we evaluate at enterprise scale.
