Data loss comes in all shapes and sizes, from an accidentally deleted document to a catastrophic server failure that wipes out a critical database. Modern businesses are absolutely reliant on data, and on the infrastructure they use to store, process, and access that data. The grim reality is that those systems and the people who use them are fallible. Most business owners are aware that backups are important, but few have a full disaster recovery plan in…

The modern world seems really fast and dynamic with a multitude of new products being launched. Marketing agencies are making fortune by monitoring the markets and delivering reports on consumers’ opinions. For today, the feedback analysis is a separate area, let’s say a growing industry with an array of products and services. And the prices for those services are pretty exorbitant.

There is a lot of talk now about data, big data, unstructured data etc. However, if I might be so bold, talking data first is putting the cart before the horse. Data is only valuable if it’s useful. As a data strategist and analyst, the focus of my work is on decisions not data, and it's not just me whose focus is shifting.

Transferring large datasets especially with heterogeneous file sizes (i.e. many small and large files together) causes inefficient utilization of the available network bandwidth. Small file transfers may cause the underlying transfer protocol not reaching the full network utilization due to short-duration transfers and connection start up/tear down overhead; and large file transfers may suffer from protocol inefficiency and end-system limitations.
