Big Data is growing exponentially, requiring massive-scale infrastructure however, business analytics has shifted from reactive to proactive analysis; this is the era of streaming data (a.k.a. Fast Data). Apache Hadoop is very good for analyzing data at rest but cannot handle streaming data. Big Data analytics needs new Big data frameworks. Apache Spark brings in-memory processing and RDD data abstraction which allow real-time processing of streaming data however its micro batch architecture incurs high latency. Apache Flink brings low latency and could address Spark limitations however it is not as mature and largely adopted as Spark. Apache Beam promotes its portable Beam model across Big data frameworks (Spark, Flink, Dataflow). Tis session presents and overview of the major Big Data frameworks and suggests that DBA should embrace these frameworks and expand their skills as a necessary path to becoming Data Architects.

We all know that IT spend is getting cloudier and cloudier these days, with software, infrastructure and platform spend moving to the cloud…but we are also all in situations where we need to make the best use of our organization's investment in existing applications and infrastructure! In this session, we will discuss practical advice for making the business case to move to cloud as appropriate for BI/business analytics and related software/infrastructure/platform solutions, with a detailed conversation around when cloud makes sense financially...and when it doesn't. We will discuss real-life case studies on companies that moved to the cloud; companies that chose (near-to-mid-term) to stay fully on-premise; and companies that made the business case for a hybrid environment for the foreseeable future. Learn how you can evaluate what makes sense for you and your organization!

This is a joint solution being developed between global companies like Saison-Hulft, Oracle, GE and Globalsign. This uses IoT and Blockchain to address the delivery and security issues in package delivery. The use of Hyper Ledger Fabric-based Blockchain service along with TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) for security, creates a system where information cannot be tampered with. This group of companies is building the prototype of this solution such that it is integrated with Oracle SCM and Oracle Transportation Manager where applicable, to allow the enterprise integration of the Blockchain solution. The initial use will be for package delivery via lockers and additional use cases apply to shipping container, bank lockers and related areas.
