The field of data science is emerging to discover the laws that govern this species of data, while cloud computing is quickly eliminating constraints on data accumulation and storage.
That is, it uses all of this computing power, and the mountains of data now being produced by each person each day, and uses it to continuously and uniquely modify products and services to every customer.
In this age of cloud computing are you too reliant on local data?
FORBES: What's More Disruptive? A Crashed Computer Or A Sick Employee?
Tables, data and cloud computing will be the biggest market changers of this year, only for those who take the time to understand their true benefits.
In essence this means that the servers in a data centre are turned into a pool of computing power to be tapped into as needed rather than being used individually.
This has become especially true in the emerging cloud computing landscape where APIs and Big Data have become some of the most valuable currencies.
FORBES: Free Versus Open: Does Open Source Software Matter In The Cloud Era?
This is seen to help speed adoption of cloud computing and provides ready access to big data in the cloud.
To put this complexity in perspective, Edmund Teller once estimated that the costs of building the data and computing infrastructure needed to extend weather forecasting abilities by about two weeks ran well into the trillions of dollars.
FORBES: Why Most Forbes Readers Know More About Global Warming than Most Climate Scientists
What with the move of much computing into the cloud and the huge energy consumption of the necessary data centres this looks lie an obviously good move.
Two recent events reminded us this spring that cloud computing infrastructures are vulnerable to the same genetic IT flaw that plagues traditional data center operations: everything fails, sooner or later.
FORBES: The Good News About Cloud Architecture: Everything Fails
Telcos need the ability to analyze this big data quickly and effectively and are turning to the new analytics infrastructure with in-memory computing to crunch the data in seconds vs. days.
"This is a very real sign of the shift from the private data center to the public grid for computing, " says Carr.
This aggressive transformation will be accomplished by virtualizing data centers, consolidating IT operations, and ultimately adopting a cloud-computing business model.
"When FISAAA was extended to cover cloud computing, encrypting data to and from the cloud becomes irrelevant so it is surprising that nobody noticed this, " he added.
