Speaker: Stephen Etheridge

Solution Architect @Basho

Stephen Etheridge built his first computer in 1978 and has managed to successfully pay the rent from computers since 1986. He’s also lucky enough to still have most of his hair. Easily bored it made sense that he kept himself entertained with a bit of espionage as an Enterprise Architect in Law enforcement, intelligence and security sectors. Describing himself as devastatingly handsome, he also swears that he manages to be a miserable git most of the time, all be it a very witty one. While he prefers pen, ink and paper to computers, this hasn’t stopped him having a long and successful history working at major system integrators before joining Basho. Stephen specializes in data, unstructured data handling, big data, giant data, data swamps and AI where he predicts it will all end up one day out of our control.

Talk: Integrate Building Blocks 4 NextGen IoT Data Tiers

Track: Sponsored Solution Track II

Location: Abbey, 4th flr.

Duration: 10:35am - 11:25am

In 2016, it is expected that 6.4 billion connected ‘things’ will be used worldwide growing to over 26 billion connected devices by 2020. Value will be gained from the extra data that is produced if it can be captured and analyzed in time. For example retailers might be able to mine new sorts of product usage data to increase sales whilst car manufacturers will be influenced by the mass of engine management information to create new value added services like engineering intervention.

New tools, methods and software stacks will be needed to support the development of applications to capitalize on this expected data deluge. Each element of such a processing stack will need to have a big data, parallel processing heritage and be well supported.

During this discussion discover the building blocks, which can be used to develop and support business changing applications quicker and more effectively than your competition.
