Explaining "Big Data on the Move"

Home > Blog > Products & Technology

At the recent QCon conference in San Francisco, I gave a talk called “Big Data on the Move” in which I introduced the audience to some of the unique challenges, techniques and technologies associated with enabling the distribution of “big data” volumes of information. The room was full and my talk seemed to hold the attention of the notoriously tough QCon audience.

Special thanks to the fine folks at QCon for letting me share video of this talk. I hope you find it informative. I’ve included an index of some key points below the video.
