A Maturing Analogy
Exaggerated comparisons between computer systems and the biological nervous system have been made for decades
Maybe such comparisons are no longer so exaggerated
The Human System
u The body is controlled via the autonomic nervous system: • Enteric (gastrointestinal
system) • Sympathetic (fight or flight,
homeostasis) • Parasympathetic (rest-and
digest, feed-and-breed) u This constitutes the fast
human response system – the operational system
The Human Brain
u The human brain complements the autonomic nervous system
u In general, it is much slower, even when working at its highest speed (about 0.1 secs response)
It interprets sensory
impressions
It reasons and learns
It thinks associatively
Enterprise Information Processing
Pursuing the analogy, there is a slow and a fast enterprise control system/nervous system:
u SLOW: This equates to normal BI and embraces everything from data analysis/data science to BI reporting
u FAST: This equates to Operational Intelligence – those BI systems which provide information to enable immediate response by people or software
Real Time is What?
We define a real-time latency to be one where there is operational urgency. Operational Intelligence can be thought of as real-time.
u Data analysis may yield knowledge that can be implemented as OI
u OI should be served to software as data
u OI should be served to users in context and in its most easily digested form: alerts, visualization
u It demands fast infrastructure
THE CONTEXT DETERMINES THE INFORMATION SERVICE, AND ITS CHARACTER AND REQUIRED SPEED
u What is the role of Cassandra?
u Typically what latencies does Acunu need to satisfy?
u There are many varieties of data visualization; which techniques and UI features does Acunu regard as being most important and why?
u OI systems can take considerable time to build. What does a normal Acunu implementation involve and how long does it take?
u Which industry sectors do you see as early adopters of BI?
u What is Acunu’s Hadoop story? Is Hadoop relevant to Acunu?
u What is your view of the OI market? Who do you see as competitive and who do you see as complementary?
