Three take-aways about big data analytics from IBM’s recent big data announcement

Last week I attended the IBM Big Data at the Speed of Business Event at IBM’s Research facility in Almaden. At the event IBM announced multiple capabilities around its big data initiative including its new BLU Acceleration and IBM PureData System for Hadoop. Additionally, new versions of Infosphere Big Insights and Infosphere Streams (for data streams) were announced as enhancements to IBM’s Big Data Platform. A new version of Informix that includes time series acceleration was also announced.
