Notre soif de puissance de calcul et notre appétit pour les données génèrent une hausse significative des coûts informatiques. Ils contribuent également largement à la hausse des émissions de carbone, qui épuisent nos réserves en électricité et en eau potable. Alors que l’usage du cloud et de l’IA ne cesse de croître, bon nombre d’entre nous mettent en place des solutions pour que cet engouement s’opère tout en préservant notre planète. Rejoignez-nous et vos pairs de la communauté Sustainable Cloud lors de notre prochain Meetup à Paris, organisé par IBM. Un programme chargé qui comprend des intervenants experts et des sessions interactives en petits groupes. Examinons ensemble de près comment nous pouvons utiliser les stratégies FinOps et GreenOps pour rendre l’IT rentable ET durable.

Big Data teaches you to build big data systems using an architecture that takes advantage of clustered hardware along with new tools designed specifically to capture and analyze web-scale data. It describes a scalable, easy-to-understand approach to big data systems that can be built and run by a small team. Following a realistic example, this book guides readers through the theory of big data systems, how to implement them in practice, and how to deploy and operate them once they're built. About the Technology About the Book Web-scale applications like social networks, real-time analytics, or e-commerce sites deal with a lot of data, whose volume and velocity exceed the limits of traditional database systems. These applications require architectures built around clusters of machines to store and process data of any size, or speed. Fortunately, scale and simplicity are not mutually exclusive. Big Data teaches you to build big data systems using an architecture designed specifically to capture and analyze web-scale data. This book presents the Lambda Architecture, a scalable, easy-to-understand approach that can be built and run by a small team. You'll explore the theory of big data systems and how to implement them in practice. In addition to discovering a general framework for processing big data, you'll learn specific technologies like Hadoop, Storm, and NoSQL databases. What's Inside Introduction to big data systems Real-time processing of web-scale data Tools like Hadoop, Cassandra, and Storm Extensions to traditional database skills About the Reader This book requires no previous exposure to large-scale data analysis or NoSQL tools. Familiarity with traditional databases is helpful. About the Authors Nathan Marz is the creator of Apache Storm and the originator of the Lambda Architecture for big data systems. James Warren is an analytics architect with a background in machine learning and scientific computing. Quotes Transcends individual tools or platforms. Required reading for anyone working with big data systems. - Jonathan Esterhazy, Groupon A comprehensive, example-driven tour of the Lambda Architecture with its originator as your guide. - Mark Fisher, Pivotal Contains wisdom that can only be gathered after tackling many big data projects. A must-read. - Pere Ferrera Bertran, Datasalt The de facto guide to streamlining your data pipeline in batch and near-real time. - Alex Holmes, Author of "Hadoop in Practice"
