COMPANYLOGOBusiness Intelligence-BI

• Business intelligence, or BI, is an umbrella term that refers to a variety of software applications used to analyze an organization’s raw data. BI as a discipline is made up of several related activities, including data mining, online analytical processing, querying and reporting. BI can handle large amounts of information to help identify and develop new opportunities.

COMPANYLOGOAnalytics

Analytics has emerged as a catch-all term for a variety of different Business Intelligence and application related initiatives

COMPANYLOGOAnalytics

Business Analytics

• Business analytics is comprised of solutions used to build analysis models and simulations to create scenarios, understand realities and predict future states.

• Business analytics includes data mining, predictive analytics, applied analytics and statics and is delivered as an application suitable for a business user.

Predictive Analytics Predictive analytics

describes any approach to data mining with four attributes: Prediction Rapid analysis Business relevance Tools accessible to users

COMPANYLOGOEnterprise Content Management

Enterprise content management(ECM) is used to create, store, distribute, discover, archive and manage unstructured content (scanned documents, email, reports, medical images etc) and analyze and deliver relevant content to users

COMPANYLOGOKnowledge Management(KM)

KM promotes a collaborative and integrative approach to the creation, capture, organization, access and use of information assets, including the tacit, un-captured knowledge of people.

COMPANYLOGOBig Data

Big data is a general term used to describe the voluminous amount of unstructured and semi-structured data a company creates-petabytes and exabytes-billions and trillions of bytes

COMPANYLOGO

Hadoop takes care of running one’s code across a cluster of machines. It chunks up the input data, sends it to each machine, runs the code on each chunk, checks and passes any results either for further processing or to the final output location.

COMPANYLOGOData deduplication

Data deduplication is a form of compression that eliminates redundant data on a subfile level, improving storage utilization.

It can significantly reduce disk space, since only the unique data is stored.

COMPANYLOGOData Loss Protection (DLP)

Data Loss Protection (DLP) describes a set of technologies and inspection techniques used to classify information content contained within an object-such as a file, email, packet, application or data store-while at rest(in storage), in use (during an operation) or in transit across a network)

COMPANYLOGOData Scientist

A data scientist is an individual, organization or application that performs statistical analysis, data mining and retrieval processes on a large amount of data to identify trends, figures and other relevant information. A data scientist performs data analysis on data stored in data warehouses or data centers to solve a variety of business problems, optimize performance and gather business intelligence.

COMPANYLOGOThin Provisioning

Thin provisioning allocates physical capacity from a virtualized pool of storage to logical volumes on a just-in-time basis. This is a mechanism that applied to large-scale centralized computer disk storage systems, SANS and storage virtualization systems , thus allowing space to be easily allocated to servers, on a just-enough and just-in-time basis.

COMPANYLOGOCloud Computing

Cloud computing is an approach to computing that uses a shared resource to deliver computing that is consumed as a service.

COMPANYLOGOHybrid Cloud

Hybrid cloud is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together, offering the benefits of multiple deployment models. Companies and individuals are able to obtain degrees of fault tolerance combined with locally immediate usability without dependency on internet connectivity.

COMPANYLOGOIaaS, PaaS, SaaS

1. IaaS - Cloud Management, Storage, Virtualization, Content Delivery Networks, Networking, Computing2. PaaS - Development & Testing, Integration, Database, Application Platform, General3. SaaS - Business Management, Vertical Apps, Tools, Cloud Security, CRM

COMPANYLOGOMultitenancy

Multitenancy is a reference to the mode of operation of software where multiple independent instances of one or multiple application operate in a shared environment. The instances (tenants) are logically isolated, but physically integrated

COMPANYLOGOCrowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing describes the processes for sourcing a task or challenge to a broad distributed set of contributors using the Web and social collaboration techniques.
