S8|E1 Big Data Meets AI: Cisco Data Intelligence Platform

Traditional approaches were not designed to handle the data volume, velocity, and variety that occurred with the rise of digital transformation. The advent of big data created a need for a different kind of infrastructure architecture. Hadoop distributions became ubiquitous as the volume of data continued to soar. Now more than a decade after the big data trend started, the market has consolidated behind Cloudera. As part of this big data evolution, the advent of AI and machine learning—as well as the ubiquity of object storage—has shifted architecture demands for big data. New offerings such as Apache Ozone have begun to emerge to meet this need, but infrastructure challenges remain. Tune in to hear from Cisco experts and Cisco Champions as they discuss 1) how Cisco’s extensive experience with big data infrastructure led to the introduction of the Cisco Data Intelligence Platform to address the evolution of big data, and 2) how Cisco Intersight, a SaaS based hybrid IT operations platform, is reducing the complexity of deploying and operating large compute farms.
