Production operations teams in companies such as Uber, Google, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are handling millions of data points per second and analyzing it all in real time to keep their hyper-scale applications up and running.
While this kind of high-end production is uncommon at this point, the trend is moving steadily toward more and more data being stored and analyzed for business purposes similar to this.
With each passing day, two distinct trends are becoming prominent: More companies are investing in analytics and/or artificial intelligence, and value is being lost in business data. Speed of processing and data access is fundamental to this entire process.
The Hive, an investment service and IT incubator of sorts based in Palo Alto, Calif., will host a special panel discussion event Feb. 9 to discuss “AI-Powered Analytics for Production Operations” and how this is working in the real world. The event is open to registrants only (see the link below).
The panel will discuss how using specialized AI can provide the analysis and observability needed throughout the application stack to deliver prescriptive remediation and maximize application performance and uptime.
Speakers will be:
