JK--On IBM public cloud svcs & private cloud platforms
Have

I read" ideation approach is bearing fruit. Golden apples!
RT
@IBM_DB2: That went fast! Thanks for
all who joined! #bigdatamgmt
A9:
The question is essentially, what are challenges of using HDFS for cold
storage. Key challenge is compression. #bigdatamgmt
A9:
"Cold" data is least frequently accessed biz data that still must be
retained. That's archive. Challenge is cost control #bigdatamgmt
A8:
Data retention best practices must evolve selectively archive most
storage-hogging data in cheapest cloud storage available #bigdatamgmt
A8:
Data retention practices evolving 2 recognize public cloud storage is most
cost-efficient retention 4 largest data sets #bigdatamgmt
A8:
Practices evolving 2 recognize much #bigdata is
"breadcrumbs" (clickstreams tweets etc) that don't need long-term
retention #bigdatamgmt
A7:
One advantage of public cloud storage is variable costs. For
temporary/surge/project-centric storage. #bigdatamgmt
@IBM_DB2 @BTRG_MikeMartin A7: Right. If
data already in public cloud, often makes sense to leave there & move
analytics to data #bigdatamgmt
A7:
Here's a good article on why storing data in public cloud may be more secure
than on-premises (http://bit.ly/17dZWzp ) #bigdatamgmt
@AdvaitaAvi Can you share the link to
the referenced article? #bigdatamgmt
A7:
Store #bigdata
in public cloud when doing so is cheaper, more manageable, & & just as
robust/secure as storing in-house. #bigdatamgmt
A6:
In terms of acquisition cost--SSD vs. HDD--on a per-TB basis, I predict the
tippiing point toward SSD will be in 2015. #bigdatamgmt
@AdvaitaAvi If Hadoop is your
source/only repository & if you have tools to analyze data in native
format, then don't need ETL #bigdatamgmt
@AdvaitaAvi Are U asking if can do
analytics in #Hadoop
without 1st extracting, transforming, or load data there from elsewhre? #bigdatamgmt
A6:
I've seen TCO numbers on SSD vs HDD that indicate tipping point has already
come. SSD is more cost-effective over lifecycle #bigdatamgmt
A5:In
addition to columnar, there are also storage-efficiency advantages to
key-value, inverted indexing, & tokenized storage. #bigdatamgmt
A4:
Actually, best cost control for #bigdata
storage is max consol of redundant storage resources, minimize data move, &
max in-db analytics
A5:
Most storage-efficient database architecture is whatever enables max
compression. Often, that's columnar (e.g., BLU) #bigdatamgmt
A4:
Storage-efficient database platforms,e.g., columnar, are key to #bigdata
storage cost control. Enable efficient compression #bigdatamgmt
A4:
Selectively profiling data before loading into #bigdata
storage is essential. Don't turn your #Hadoop into
costly Ha-dump #bigdatamgmt
A4:Controlling
storage costs involves cheap stor devices, max compression, stor-efficient
dbms, multitemp mgmt, smart retention #bigdatamgmt
A3:
Archiving thrives on cost-effective voluminous storage plus rich search &
retrieval tools. That's #Hadoop's sweet
spot. #bigdatamgmt
A3:
#Hadoop is an
ideal archiving tech, due 2 peta-scale, file-oriented storage, SQL-oriented
query/access, & deep analytics #bigdatamgmt
@IBM_DB2 @dfloyer A2: #bigdata
thrives on "fit-for-purpose" storage deployd differentially by
functionally differentiated tiers #bigdatamgmt
A2:
In a 3-tier #bigdata
arch, should put SSD in front-end query/access for high-perf. Should put hi-cap
HDD in hub and staging #bigdatamgmt
@AdvaitaAvi #Hadoop Storage
stack? Hadoop has diff underlying stores (HDFS, Hbase, etc.). Different mixes
of HDD & SSD optimal #bigdatamgmt
A2:
Rotating disk best for lower-speed, batch I/O. SSD best for real-time,
interactive, fast query & exploration. Mix/match 'em #bigdatamgmt
A1:
Structured data in batch environments usually uses HDD. More real-time
requirements might use SSD. Streaming uses cache #bigdatamgmt
A1:
One storage tech DOES NOT suffice for multistructured. Each data type has
distinct storage, compress, retrieval reqs #bigdatamgmt
