The business challenges get harder, the data more complex. What's an information professional to do? The new mantra is scale; the tried-and-true method remains SQL. How can these two forces combine to deliver actionable insights? The first answer is a distributed SQL engine, built to handle the depth and breadth of today's data sources. The second answer is Iceberg, the game-changing open-table format for large-scale analytics datasets. Register for this episode of DM Radio to hear Host @eric_kavanagh interview industry veteran, Steve Sarsfield of OpenText Vertica. They'll get into the weeds of today's analytical landscape, and why a new, more powerful engine is table stakes for being able to access, parse and analyze relevant data. They'll also explore the value of newly supported data types like JSON, geospatial and time-series data; in addition to new functionality that streamlines the design and deployment of machine learning models.

The modern data stack is a collection of cloud-based tools and technologies used to collect, store, process, and analyze data in a scalable way. It is a departure from traditional data stacks, which were often based on on-premises infrastructure and were not as well-suited for handling large volumes of data or complex data pipelines. But with this new approach comes complexity, and organizations must determine if the value outweighs the cost. Another, newer route has emerged for companies interested in serious analytical power: Hyperscale! This new architecture leverages an array of technical advances, including compute-adjacent storage, simplified data pipelines that make data available to more users, built-in integrations for a whole host of data sources, and machine learning algorithms baked into the architecture.

The concept of cost-plus dates back to the earliest manufacturing days. You could call it a historical view of pricing strategy. But so much has changed since those first Model T's rolled off the assembly line. The ubiquitous nature of machine readable data is one force; the power of AI is another; the complexity and abundance of supply chains is yet another. Add it all together, and you've got a renaissance in pricing! Find out more on this special episode of DM Radio as Host @eric_kavanagh interviews Pascal Yammine and Barrett Thompson of Zilliant, and Lou Simon of Uptima Elevate.

Today's successful enterprises know that data products are crucial. And the data lakehouse is increasingly viewed as the best of both worlds: combining the speed and accuracy of a data warehouse, with the size and scope of a data lake. But there has been one missing ingredient: a low-code solution for building platform-agnostic pipelines. Check out this episode of DM Radio to learn from renowned Analyst Merv Adrian, who will deliver a presentation on the evolution of data. He'll be joined by Databricks Guru Simon Whitely of Advancing Analytics, and Raj Bains, CEO of Prophecy.io.

Drinking from the data firehose? Welcome to the party! Luckily, a whole host of solutions have been rolled out to address the size, scale and scope of data movement projects. Yes, the cloud data warehouse is a common target, but what about all those other systems? Reverse ETL is now taking hold, as companies look for ways to hydrate their systems with the enriched data. Another alternative is data virtualization, a discipline that seeks to dynamically provision data access where and when it's needed. Though not new, there are some new tricks of the trade that make it more viable than ever. Check out this episode of DM Radio to learn more! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview several experts, including Rick Sherman of Athena IT Solutions, Nick Golovin of Data Virtuality, and Taylor McGrath of Rivery.io.

The concept of a data mesh has gained traction in recent years as a way to enable data democratization and decentralization in organizations. A data mesh approach ideally calls for building a data fabric that provides a unified view of all data sources in an organization. The fabric serves as a foundation for the data mesh, enabling data teams to develop and operate their own data products and services independently. But how close are we to genuinely pulling this off?

Imagine having a closet that automatically expanded whenever you needed more room. A scalable closet! That's basically what Cloud storage provides: a nice, big room where you can store all your stuff! There are some considerations, of course: How quickly do you want to be able to access your stuff? How much does this fancy closet cost? What's your backup strategy in case it gets hacked? These are all considerations for companies that are redefining their storage strategy. It's not just for on-prem anymore!
