6 Experts on Speeding Up Data

Speed. That’s what it’s all about these days. The problem: it’s still more effective to use FedEx than trying to squeeze a data load across a network. It’s an absurd reality when it requires a plane to move data from one place to another. It’s not necessary to move terabytes of data all day, all night. Moving hard drives across the continent for a feature film is different from pulling in data to analyze and then presenting in an application. But the loads will have to get heavier ?with the connectivity of smartphones, the invisible geofence around your house, 3-D printers and the endless variety of data objects available to aggregate and analyze. In applications, the complexity of moving data is requiring new ways to use Flash and RAM. Hard drives are outdated, their mechanical parts not capable of keeping up with the volume and velocity of data that companies are analyzing. New databases are emerging. Startups and large companies like SAP are developing in-memory databases. NoSQL databases have become the darlings of the developer community. The need for speed in application performance and analysis has endless dimensions.?Matt Turck, who recently joined?FirstMark Capital?as a managing partner, commented in an interview last week at their offices in New York that the Internet of Things (IoT) creates ?friction with data transfer. He cited the rise of MQTT, an IoT protocol for passing data that the New York Times says is?”not really a lingua franca for machine-to-machine communication, but a messenger and carrier for data exchange.” The MQTT inventor discovered the need for the messaging protocol when he started automating his 16th century thatched roof cottage on the Isle of Wight. That ball the child rolls across the floor? As I discussed with Turck, It’s not a ball but a data object with its own social identity, that could someday connect to trillions of other objects. It will become an avatar, known more as data object than the Spaldeen the child bounces on the stoop of his family’s Brooklyn brownstone. Now think of all the data that will pass from objects such as this ball and you can sense the scope of a world of zettabyte dimensions. To get some perspective, I asked some experts about the new reality of data that seems to be encompassing just about everything these days. Their views reflect less about the future than what is actually happening
