Business Analytics, Mobile Security, Big Data Storage, VoIP/Video Conferencing, and Big Data Challenges.
Welcome to the VoicesOn Friday Roundup. This week, we bring you white papers on Business Analytics, Mobile Security, Big Data Storage, VoIP/Video Conferencing, and Big Data Challenges.
Geeknet: Business Analytics for Midsize Businesses: Challenges and Benefits
Business intelligence derived from sophisticated analytics has given large companies an edge for years. It helps them be more competitive, make information---based decisions faster and better, improves operational efficiencies, and boosts the bottom line. Midsize businesses are increasingly eager to reap similar benefits.Business intelligence derived from sophisticated analytics has given large companies an edge for years.

Three Steps to Mitigate Mobile Security Risks
Smartphones and tablets are everywhere. Most companies allow employees to use personal mobile devices to access corporate data, but they typically have very little visibility into which employees are accessing corporate data and what kinds of devices they're using. As a result, they are blind to the risks these devices have to their data.
Why RAID is Dead for Big Data Storage
Data is exploding, growing 10X every five years. In 2008, IDC projected that over 800 Exabytes (one million terabytes) of digital content existed in the world and that by 2020 that number is projected to grow over 35,000 Exabytes. What's fueling the growth? Unstructured digital content. Over 90% of all new data created in the next five years will be unstructured digital content, namely video, audio and image objects. The data storage, archive and backup of large numbers of digital content objects is quickly creating demands for multi-petabyte (one thousand terabytes) storage system.
Getting Ahead in Managing VoIP and Video Conferencing Performance and Quality
Can this be just another simple technology transition? For end users, this should be precisely the case, with new IP-based communications expected to look, act and behave just as their non-IP predecessors. But for network planners, managers, and operators it brings very real, new requirements. In particular, networks must be optimized for preferred delivery of these new communication streams, which require low latency, congestion mitigation, and minimal packet loss. If not properly addressed, performance and experience quality issues can easily render these communications technologies unusable. To learn more download this whitepaper by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) analyst, Jim Frey and learn how to address the challenges and quality problems when rolling out these technologies.
Five Big Data Challenges and How to Overcome them with Visual Analytics
How do you present big data in a way that business leaders can quickly understand and use? This is not a minor consideration. Mining millions of rows of data creates a big headache for analysts tasked with sorting and presenting data. Organizations often approach the problem in one of two ways: Build "samples" so that it is easier to both analyze and present the data, or create template charts and graphs that can accept certain types of information. Both approaches miss the potential for big data. Instead, consider pairing big data with visual analytics so that you use all the data and receive automated help in selecting the best ways to present the data. This frees staff to deploy insights from data. Think of your data as a great, but messy, story. Visual analytics is the master filmmaker and the gifted editor who bring the story to life.
