Release Date:May 6, 2013
The mainstreaming of Big Data is an important transformational moment in computing. Traditional clusters based on distributed memory cannot adequately handle the growing crush of data. Shared memory approaches are required. Learn how Numascale has developed a technology, NumaConnect, which turns a collection of standard servers with separate memories and IO into a unified system that delivers the functionality of high-end enterprise servers and mainframes at a fraction of the cost.

IDC Predictions 2013: Competing on the 3rd Platform
Source: IDC
Release Date:February 11, 2013
The most important events in 2013 will cluster — as they did in 2012 — around what IDC calls the "3rd Platform" for IT growth and innovation, built on mobile devices, cloud services, social technologies, and Big Data. We'll see much greater urgency in 2013, and much bigger moves, as the market shifts beyond the "exploration" stage to full-blown high-stakes competition. The ability (or inability) to compete on the 3rd Platform will reset leadership ranks in the IT market and every industry that uses IT.
