They expect to sell the product on a broader scale in early 2013. Hardy reports Numenta claims the service’s limited release has been successful, with results 10-20% better than traditional predictive benchmarks. in order to make actionable predictions to help inform decisions. As described on its website, Grok is a cloud-based service that pulls in data streams from sensors - servers, consumer devices, machines, etc. Hawkins’ company Numenta has been developing a real-time artificial intelligence product called Grok, which is modeled on how Hawkins believes the brain to work - taking in information and seeking patterns in order to predict what will happen next. ‘Querying databases won’t matter as much, as people worry instead about millions of streams of real-time data.’ In a sensor-rich world of data feeds, he is saying, we will model ourselves more closely on the constant change that is the real world.” “‘Hadoop won’t go away, but it will manage a lot less stuff,’ said in an interview at Numenta’s headquarters in Redwood City, Calif. They’ll be replaced by real-time analysis of information streams from sensors, what Hawkins calls “the future of machine intelligence.” Hardy reports: The New York Times’ Quentin Hardy talked this week with technology pioneer, brain researcher and Numenta co-founder Jeff Hawkins, who believes data storage companies, relational databases and historical data analysis may soon be things of the past. Some of the big problems with big data might not be what we think they are - and some might not end up being problems at all.

Strata Conference Santa Clara - Strata Conference Santa Clara, being held Feb. We focus on a SaaS approach where the hardware layer is abstracted away,” he said. Amazon is taking the traditional data warehouse and making it available. As to competition with AWS Redshift, BitYota co-founder and CEO Dev Patel told Dignan that it’s a non-issue: “ not a competitor to us. Larry Dignan reports at ZDNet that BitYota is built on a cloud infrastructure and uses SQL technology, and that service plans will start at $1,500 per month for 500GB of data. In related news, startup BitYota also launched a data warehousing service this week. In some ways, Redshift may be the AWS equivalent of putting the milk in the back of the grocery store.” “If you have been keeping your data and applications local, shifting to Redshift could also mean shifting your applications to some other part of the AWS ecosystem as well, just to keep the latency times and bandwidth costs reasonable. He also raises concerns that this service may play into Amazon’s typical business model of luring customers into its ecosystem bits at a time. Proffitt also notes that Redshift isn’t without its red flags, pointing out that a public cloud service not only raises issues of data security, but of the cost of data access - the bandwidth costs of transferring data back and forth.

Proffitt writes that Redshift’s massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture “means that unlike Hadoop, where data just sits cheaply waiting to be batch processed, data stored in Redshift can be worked on fast - fast enough for even transactional work.” So far, the service has drawn in some big players - Sawers notes that the initial private beta has more than 20 customers, including NASA/JPL, Netflix, and Flipboard.īrian Proffitt at ReadWrite took an in-depth look at the service, noting its potential speed capabilities and the importance of its architecture.

Depending on the service plan, customers can launch Redshift clusters scaling to more than a petabyte for less than $1,000 per terabyte per year. Paul Sawers at The Next Web reports that Amazon hopes to democratize data warehousing services, offering affordable options to make such services viable for small businesses while enticing large companies with cheaper alternatives.
