How business taught scientists about big data
2011-09-24 21:00

Traditionally, scientists and researchers develop the latest and greatest techniques in computing, which then trickle down corporate data centers where they’re relevant. But with big data — the process of analyzing voluminous quantities of data in new, unique ways — it’s the industry that’s driving innovation. 

The New Big Data
