Earlier this week, Datanami accomplished the transition to BigDATAwire. Loyal readers will discover that we started this journey practically two years in the past. And whereas the transition might have taken somewhat longer than anticipated, it’s satisfying to lastly be right here.
We’ve got a brand new title, however the publication retains its core give attention to large knowledge matters, together with knowledge administration, knowledge science, superior analytics, and AI. You’ll be able to anticipate to learn the identical nice protection of cutting-edge applied sciences on this house and the individuals who put them into observe.
We selected the title BigDATAwire for a few causes. First, it brings alignment with the Tabor Communications Inc. household of publications, together with TCI’s flagship web site, HPCwire, in addition to AIwire, which not too long ago rebranded from EnterpriseAI.
Secondly, the title displays the truth that large knowledge continues to be a factor. Whereas the large knowledge growth might have began a decade-and-a-half in the past, most of the identical challenges stay, and managing large knowledge continues to be a giant problem.
To make sure, knowledge administration tech has improved considerably because the first Hadoop clusters went on-line. However the rising volumes and velocity of information, to not point out the altering use circumstances for knowledge (hey, generative AI) are exposing weaknesses in organizations’ present knowledge administration methods.
The aim with BigDATAwire (or BDW for brief) is to proceed spotlighting these knowledge administration challenges, in addition to exhibiting readers the enterprise alternatives that open when efficient knowledge administration is reached.
It’s the finish of the street for Datanami, which was one of many first publications devoted to overlaying the rising marketplace for large knowledge options again in 2011. I’m honored to have been the managing editor of Datanami since 2013.
With the laborious work of the publications’ workers and a little bit of luck, hopefully BigDATAwire can have a equally profitable run.
