Unstructured Data Management: Avoiding Insider Knowledge Gaps
Most IT leaders know that managing an unstructured data environment can be quite an undertaking. Before beginning an unstructured data management project, there are a lot of factors to consider including the number of storage devices, the size of a particular dataset, the number of files in the dataset and, perhaps the most intimidating, the […]
The Quest To Unify With GraphQL, The Modern Data API
There is an ongoing trend in enterprise software: Using GraphQL as an aggregation layer to unify access to underlying data sources and REST APIs. Some call this the supergraph, and others refer to it as a meta layer. The idea is that by providing a more consumable layer to a wide range of internal sources, […]
How Stream Processing Goes Beyond Real-Time
How fast is real-time? According to Robert Miller’s 1968 seminal study on human-computer interaction, we perceive a response time of 100 milliseconds or less as instantaneous. This is much quicker than the average human reaction time, which one online test clocks at 273 milliseconds. Nowadays, customer-facing applications need to respond in as close to real-time […]
DataOps Vs. DevOps: What’s the Difference?
There is a mindboggling amount of data today; to even measure it requires using a byte measurement called a zettabyte, which is one sextillion bytes (that’s 21 zeros). Currently, because such a ridiculous amount of data exists, there is a growing urgency to end wasteful data processes. From this environment, DataOps was born. Similar to […]
Managing Data Risk in 2021
You can’t protect your data if you don’t know where it is stored. The first thing to consider when creating a risk-based approach to data protection is the ability to identify and prioritize data, and control who has access to it. But, how do we do this? How do we prioritize data? In this TechStrong […]
Apollo GraphQL Offers Free API Management Service
Apollo GraphQL has announced the general availability of a free Development Graphs cloud service to simplify management of GraphQL application programming interfaces (APIs) at scale. GraphQL APIs have been gaining traction as an alternative to REST APIs because they provide developers with more control over who can access data via an API and are easier […]
DevOps’ Data Storage Problem
The technology sector has always been about problem-solving.
