Redwood City, California - November 6, 2012 - Versant
Corporation (Nasdaq:
VSNT), a worldwide leader in developing
data management software infrastructure for complex,
mission-critical applications,today announced that Versant's Director
of Professional Services, Matthew Barker, will be
presenting at the QCon Conference in San Francisco, CA,
on Friday, November 9th at 11:40am PST. The main focus
areas of this presentation will include: Big Data's
potential to transform the enterprise, how to effectively
leverage situational awareness, and the benefits it can
provide businesses.
During his session,
Matthew will discuss how the majority of data management
tools on the market today have focused on maneuvering the
massive spikes in data volume while not focusing enough
on increasing information complexity to tap into Big
Data's real value: taking action. Matthew will
describe Versant's view on how enterprises can
quickly leverage data to achieve what the company calls
situational awareness, and making accurate, timely
decisions. Situational awareness calls for a shift from
traditional methods of data processing, like relational
databases, to more sophisticated tools that can handle
the scale and complexity of today's information.
"Big Data is not new; the concept has been around
for more than a decade," says Versant's Director
of Professional Services, Matthew Barker. "The
benefits it can bring to an enterprise are
well-documented, yet its full potential has yet to be
leveraged effectively. The applications of situational
awareness are virtually limitless - from being able to
keep the energy grid up and running amidst a disaster, to
stopping credit fraud. But to get to where we need to be,
there needs to be a fundamental change in the way we
process data to provide the information that is needed to
make the decisions that really matter."
Matthew will highlight how the recent release of Versant JPA, which has been
downloaded many hundreds of times after just three weeks
of its release, helps to provide situational
awareness. He will discuss the benefits the
Java-based API technology offers for enterprises relative
to other, non-standards-based NoSQL database solutions.
He will also look at the challenges the Big Data
community faces today and how Versant JPA, featuring the
industry's first zero application downtime solution
for schema modifications, as well as Hadoop and R
integration, addresses these issues.
Please join Versant's Director of Professional
Services, Matthew Barker on Friday, November 9th in San
Francisco to learn how situational awareness can
transform the future of the enterprise. To learn
