Business and Big Data: Laboratory FABERNOVEL

Big Data - a term that has become a real "bazvordom" is so popular in this topic. More and more people and companies from different parts of the world and industries are starting to realize the importance of data analysis. But not enough to want to use the data, we must also understand what and how to collect and study. Today we look at this particular issue.

Evolution h4> First of all, let's talk about how technology is developed, giving rise to the very possibility of the emergence of the concept of Bid Data. The development of this technology can not be viewed in isolation from the cost of storage. For example, in the 80 years have the opportunity to collect large amounts of data, but they were very expensive storage. For example, 1 GB of data storage in 1980 was worth $ 300 000.

First practical use of large data in the computer system was implemented in 1997, the creators of the chess computer Deep Blue, which beat chess champion Garry Kasparov.

By the year 2000 the cost of storing 1 gigabyte of data has already dropped to just $ 100.

The next important event in the evolution of Big Data has become a platform of distributed computing Hadoop in 2005.

Understanding the importance of working with data continued to come to the owners of an increasing number of businesses, mostly IT-companies. In 2006, Netflix launched competition , during which developers have access to the data set and had to improve the algorithm recommendation service (the results should been improved by 10%). The prize was $ 1 million.



By the beginning of the first decade of the XXI century in the prospects of Big Data convince even government representatives. In 2011, Los Angeles police launched проект to analyze crime data for 80 years to improve the quality of forecasting the future site of the crimes.

In 2013, the cost of storing 1 GB of data is reduced to $ 0, 1.

By 2017, the company McKinsey прогнозирует the growth of the global market Big Data to $ 50 billion.

«Knowledge of Big Data», as in the summary line h4> Business has long realized that the ability to work with data is a competitive advantage, and professionals with such skills will be worth its weight in gold.



According to the same company McKinsey, 2018 in the US alone shortage of specialists with deep analytical skills will be 190 thousand. Man. By 2018, the lack of market managers who are able to analyze large amounts of data to make effective decisions, will amount to 1, 5 million.

DataLab from FABERNOVEL h4> As usual, in RuNet Big Data development lags behind the US, but also in our country there are a considerable number of companies which, if desired, can collect huge amounts of data on current and potential clients. Next is the question of the ability to effectively analyze and monetize this information.

Specialists in Big Data is missing in America, but in Russia they will not find in the afternoon with fire. However, they are still there and are willing to share their knowledge.



FABERNOVEL company has developed a special "laboratory" - a one-day course on Big Data, which students will be able to understand the basic scenario, the use of large data acquainted with the basic technologies in this area and to create a pilot Big Data-project with the help of mentors, industry experts. Short program can be divided into three sections:

• Business aspects: Big Data history and evolution of the market, the most vulnerable segments and industries, the main challenges and successful scenario, the use of technology.
• Technological Aspects : Revolution Hadoop and its principles, emerging technologies (Storm et Spark), No-SQl and its new features, application scenarios technologies.
• Simulation own project Big Data: b > purpose of the exercise - to get first insights, visualize the results and understand the principles of obtaining ROI (return on investment)
  Such educational initiatives at the moment are not too common in our country, so we invite you as representatives of both companies and individuals to take part in the Data Lab from FABERNOVEL.
  
  Businesses need fuel, and now this fuel - data. We just need to learn how to use them properly.
  
  Thank you!
  
  The laboratory will be held in the Digital October, on all issues of participation can refer to Lev Samsonov .
