Whitepapers
There is a new universe of data being created by smart meters, mobile devices, social media, RFID, web logs, and other sources. Meanwhile, many industries have only begun exiting the paper-based documentation era. It’s no longer the case that all possible insights about an organization come only from a structured data warehouse full of vetted data developed inside one’s own four walls.

As the data created and consumed by users worldwide continues to double every two to four years, the role of scale-out file systems and policy-based data management solutions such as Quantum's StorNext is becoming critical to managing this growth and streamlining data workflows.
To ensure widespread adoption of business intelligence (BI) practices, Organizations have been increasingly deploying state-of-the-art tools and techniques. However, most of these initiatives have met with little success. Why? One reason: The majority of BI systems have been designed on the basis of how technology approaches a problem.

How 'Big Data' Is Different. These days, lots of people in business are talking about
According to TDWI Research’s 2011 Big Data Analytics Survey, 33% of surveyed organizations are contemplating a replacement of their analytic databases, data warehouses, and similar platforms to keep pace with new and intensifying requirements for advanced analytics in a “big data” world. As user organizations make such platform replacements—or add additional platforms to their expanding data warehouse architectures—they are turning more and more to specialized analytic database management systems (DBMSs).
As new expertise and innovations in software and integrated systems make the analysis of Big Data more accessible, these leaders are gaining a greater competitive advantage in the era of "smart."
