"Another one I want to mention is this concept of big data. There are a lot of traditional database systems and ways of handling data that are dated back to relatively small data sets. Today, you have things like Facebook. So, everything—all this data—is tracked literally like every second. How do you handle that? What types of solutions do you use? How do you model that data? How do you ask questions of that data? So, that's something that's crept up, I think, in the last ten years with the advent of the internet and some of these platforms that are now storing tons of data—and then even sharing that data with anyone who wants to consume it or use it. So, that's a trend that I see more and more." Central
"I would echo what has been said already. I think the data—obviously that's a big thing—coupled with modeling and the security that comes along with that...so there's a lot more focus on security than there used to be. Obviously, all sorts of security. And, with legislation and regulations, that's just going to be part of what we do as a business that they need to pay attention to." Central
"I was thinking more along the lines of data as well. Data is huge in what we do at our office in [MnSCU university]. I mean, you basically work with Snap back-up product and back-up thousands and thousands of files. So, we support this offer that corporations use. So, I'm thinking of data in more of a standpoint of the different options that corporations can use and how they might store that. Whether it's the cloud or the gate or this whole virtualization and storage devices and storage area networks and things like that. So, I see that—just the amount of data that the world is continuing to produce—finding a way to make sure that's accessible to people when they need it. The other side of data would be taking that data and turning it into information that businesses can use to make decisions on. So, that's another piece where I see data coming into play here. It's not just pieces of information, but turning it into something that's useful to make business decisions." Central
"Being a hosting provider, we hold onto people's data and we need to treat it as our own. Security is huge for us, and there's a whole mindset that goes along with it. Like, you're saying people have just got to push it out to the back burner, make it work, and move on. It's something that we'd like to see more of, even in our user groups. Security is a big thing."
