“EMA research evidences strong and growing interest in leveraging log data across multiple infrastructure planning and operations management use cases. But to fully realize the potential complementary value of unstructured log data, it must be aligned and integrated with structured management data, and manual analysis must be replaced with automated approaches. By combining the RapidEngines capabilities with its existing solution, SevOne will be the first to truly integrate log data into an enterprise-class, carrier-grade performance management system.” FirstsUseValuesStrongInterestRealizingClassCasesGrowingApproachSolutionsResearchEvidencePerformancesManagementPlanningDataOperationsAnalysisEnterpriseGradesCapabilityMultipleReplacedInfrastructureIntegratedIntegratingManualsCombiningCarrierComplementaryManagement Systems Author:Jim Frey
“The cloud is driven by statistics, and even in the worst individual cases of personal ignorance, dullness, idleness, or irrelevance, every person is constantly feeding data into the cloud these days. The value of such information could be treated as genuine, but it is not. Instead, the blindness of our standards of accounting to all that value is gradually breaking capitalism.” PersonsValuesIndividualCasesWorstInformationIgnoranceStandardsCapitalismCloudsDrivenGenuineTreatedDataThese DaysStatisticsBlindnessFeedingIdlenessAccountingDullnessIrrelevance Book:Who Owns the Future?

“How can you communicate your thoughts or demonstrate your hypotheses by conventional means when all the values and standards that you want to challenge are built into those means? Science and new technology today like to declare that they encourage 'lateral thinking,' new ways of seeing and putting data together - but all systems have an inbuilt resistance to what has not been programmed into them through the premises on which their rules are based.” ThinkingWayWantMeanTodayTogetherValuesChallengesTechnologyProgressSeeingStandardsBuiltCommunicateResistanceDataConventionalNew WaysStatus QuoHypothesisPremisesNew TechnologyLateral Thinking Book:Improper behavior Source: Improper behavior

“The value of science is not simply what the next model of the iPod you will buy next week, but its real value comes about when it's time to distinguish reality from everything else.
