Summary

Building a database engine requires a substantial amount of engineering effort and time investment. Over the decades of research and development into building these software systems there are a number of common components that are shared across implementations. When Paul Dix decided to re-write the InfluxDB engine he found the Apache Arrow ecosystem ready and waiting with useful building blocks to accelerate the process. In this episode he explains how he used the combination of Apache Arrow, Flight, Datafusion, and Parquet to lay the foundation of the newest version of his time-series database.

Interview

Introduction How did you get involved in the area of data management? Can you start by describing the FDAP stack and how the components combine to provide a foundational architecture for database engines?

This was the core of your recent re-write of the InfluxDB engine. What were the design goals and constraints that led you to this architecture?

Each of the architectural components are well engineered for their particular scope. What is the engineering work that is involved in building a cohesive platform from those components? One of the major benefits of using open source components is the network effect of ecosystem integrations. That can also be a risk when the community vision for the project doesn't align with your own goals. How have you worked to mitigate that risk in your specific platform? Can you describe the

Introduction How did you get involved in the area of data management? To start, can you share your definition of what constitutes a "Data Lakehouse"?

What are the technical/architectural/UX challenges that have hindered the progression of lakehouses? What are the notable advancements in recent months/years that make them a more viable platform choice?

There are multiple tools and vendors that have adopted the "data lakehouse" terminology. What are the benefits offered by the combination of Trino and Iceberg?

What are the key points of comparison for that combination in relation to other possible selections?

What are the pain points that are still prevalent in lakehouse architectures as compared to warehouse or vertically integrated systems?

What progress is being made (within or across the ecosystem) to address those sharp edges?

For someone who is interested in building a data lakehouse with Trino and Iceberg, how does that influence their selection of other platform elements? What are the differences in terms of pipeline design/access and usage patterns when using a Trino

My voice is sort of working, and I chat about Tristan Handy's article that raised quite a ruckus this week, "Is the "Modern Data Stack" Still a Useful Idea?"

In the end, the Modern Data Stack won - people use the cloud for analytics. And everything ends, so I'm excited for what's next.

Just as many of us have been using generative AI tools to make us more productive at work, so have bad actors. Generative AI makes it much easier to create fake yet convincing text and images that can be used to deceive and harm. We’ve already seen lots of high-profile attempts to leverage AI in phishing campaigns, and this is putting more pressure on cybersecurity teams to get ahead of the curve and combat these new forms of threats. However, AI is also helping those that work in cybersec to be more productive and better equip themselves to create new forms of defense and offense.  Brian Murphy is a founder, CEO, entrepreneur and investor. He founded and leads ReliaQuest, the force multiplier of security operations and one of the largest and fastest-growing companies in the global cybersecurity market. ReliaQuest increases visibility, reduces complexity, and manages risk with its cloud-native security operations platform, GreyMatter. Murphy grew ReliaQuest from a boot-strapped startup to a high-growth unicorn with a valuation of over $1 billion, more than 1,000 team members, and more than $350 million in growth equity with firms such as FTV Capital and KKR Growth.  In the full episode, Adel and Brian cover the evolution of cybersecurity tools, the challenges faced by cybersecurity teams, types of cyber threats, how generative AI can be used both defensively and offensively in cybersecurity, how generative AI tools are making cybersecurity professionals more productive, the evolving role of cybersecurity professionals, the security implications of deploying AI models, the regulatory landscape for AI in cybersecurity and much more.  Links Mentioned in the Show: ReliaQuestReliaQuest BlogIBM finds that ChatGPT can generate phishing emails nearly as convincing as a humanInformation Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs)[Course] Introduction to Data SecurityRelated episode: Data Security in the Age of AI with Bart Vandekerckhove, Co-founder at Raito New to DataCamp?

This IBM Blueprint outlines how CMTG and IBM have partnered to provide cyber resilient services to their clients. CMTG is one of Australia's leading private cloud providers based in Perth, Western Australia. The solution is based on IBM Storage FlashSystem, IBM Safeguarded Copy and IBM Storage Copy Data Management. The target audience for this Blueprint is IBM Storage technical specialists and storage admins.

IBM® Storage Virtualize based storage systems are secure storage platforms that implement various security-related features, in terms of system-level access controls and data-level security features. This document outlines the available security features and options of IBM Storage Virtualize based storage systems. It is not intended as a "how to" or best practice document. Instead, it is a checklist of features that can be reviewed by a user security team to aid in the definition of a policy to be followed when implementing IBM FlashSystem®, IBM SAN Volume Controller, and IBM Storage Virtualize for Public Cloud. IBM Storage Virtualize features the following levels of security to protect against threats and to keep the attack surface as small as possible: The first line of defense is to offer strict verification features that stop unauthorized users from using login interfaces and gaining access to the system and its configuration. The second line of defense is to offer least privilege features that restrict the environment and limit any effect if a malicious actor does access the system configuration. The third line of defense is to run in a minimal, locked down, mode to prevent damage spreading to the kernel and rest of the operating system. The fourth line of defense is to protect the data at rest that is stored on the system from theft, loss, or corruption (malicious or accidental). The topics that are discussed in this paper can be broadly split into two categories: System security: This type of security encompasses the first three lines of defense that prevent unauthorized access to the system, protect the logical configuration of the storage system, and restrict what actions users can perform. It also ensures visibility and reporting of system level events that can be used by a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution, such as IBM QRadar®. Data security: This type of security encompasses the fourth line of defense. It protects the data that is stored on the system against theft, loss, or attack. These data security features include Encryption of Data At Rest (EDAR) or IBM Safeguarded Copy (SGC). This document is correct as of IBM Storage Virtualize 8.6.

This IBM® Redpaper® Product Guide describes the IBM SAN Volume Controller model SV3 solution, which is a next-generation IBM SAN Volume Controller. Built with IBM Storage Virtualize software and part of the IBM Storage family, IBM SAN Volume Controller is an enterprise-class storage system. It helps organizations achieve better data economics by supporting the large-scale workloads that are critical to success. Data centers often contain a mix of storage systems. This situation can arise as a result of company mergers or as a deliberate acquisition strategy. Regardless of how they arise, mixed configurations add complexity to the data center. Different systems have different data services, which make it difficult to move data from one to another without updating automation. Different user interfaces increase the need for training and can make errors more likely. Different approaches to hybrid cloud complicate modernization strategies. Also, many different systems mean more silos of capacity, which can lead to inefficiency. To simplify the data center and to improve flexibility and efficiency in deploying storage, enterprises of all types and sizes turn to IBM SAN Volume Controller, which is built with IBM Spectrum Virtualize software. This software simplifies infrastructure and eliminates differences in management, function, and even hybrid cloud support. IBM SAN Volume Controller introduces a common approach to storage management, function, replication, and hybrid cloud that is independent of storage type. It is the key to modernizing and revitalizing your storage, but is as easy to understand.
