IBM Buys Predictive Analytics Firm SPSS
Brendan B. Read
Senior Contributing Editor
Computer/IT services giant
is buying predictive analytics firm
for $1.2 billion in an all cash transaction that is expected to close later this year.
The deal is timely and smart for both companies. Predictive analytics, which examines current and past data to help firms identify opportunities and risks about customers and prospects is hot even in this cool economy, and understandably so. Applying these solutions increases the likelihood of maximizing revenues and minimizing losses. IBM (
) says the ability to forecast future trends and spot shifts in consumer patterns or behavior even before they occur can give businesses a competitive advantage in today's economy.
Not surprisingly IDC (
) estimates that the worldwide market for business analytics software will swell to $25 billion this year, growing four percent over 2008. The growth means that today is an opportune time for SPSS (
) shareholders to cash out. They will through their financing of SPSS leave a legacy of enabling development of the firm's predictive analytics solutions that well-heeled IBM can now advance to the next level, and spread to more customers worldwide.
IBM says the acquisition is expected to further expand its
Information on Demand (IOD) software
portfolio and business analytics capabilities. This includes the range of offerings available through IBM's recently-announced
Business Analytics and Optimization Consulting
organization and network of Analytics Solution Centers. The acquisition is also expected to strengthen IBM's Information Agenda initiative, which helps companies turn information into a strategic asset.
The acquisition of SPSS will add a wide array of advanced analytic capabilities to IBM's IOD software portfolio. This will enable many new industry-focused solutions including: customer acquisition and retention for financial services, patient care improvement for the healthcare industry, crime prevention for public sector and ideal locations for retailers and manufacturers. In addition, software capabilities that address all industries will include demand forecasting, employee hiring and retention, customer profitability, credit scoring, and fraud detection. All of these new offerings will help clients drive better business outcomes within their specific industries.
Consistent with IBM's software strategy, IBM will continue to support and enhance SPSS technologies while allowing customers to take advantage of the broader IBM portfolio.
Following the close of the acquisition, IBM intends to integrate SPSS within IBM's Information Management software portfolio and into the many industry offerings already available.
"With this acquisition, we are extending our capabilities around a new level of analytics that not only provides clients with greater insight but true foresight," says Ambuj Goyal, general manager, Information Management, IBM. "Predictive analytics can help clients move beyond the 'sense and respond' mode, which can leave blind spots for strategic information in today's fast paced environment to 'predict and act' for improved business outcomes."
In a message to customers and business partners SPSS chair, CEO, and President Jack Noonan says that his firm and IBM view the sale as a highly complementary move from both technology and a market position perspectives. The depth and breadth of IBM's resources, its customer and market reach can only enhance SPSS's ability to address the growing market for predictive analytics.
"In joining with IBM, we will advance predictive analytics as a competitive advantage for companies and organizations worldwide," says Noonan." We see this as a transformative event that will accelerate the adoption of predictive analytics."

The Zagat Review
As its name suggests, this Old Town Scottsdale hangout (sib to nearby Cowboy Ciao) has tons of global vinos (over 2,000 to be exact), but craft cocktails, a dark, speakeasy vibe and live music mean it's not your average wine bar. A back-door entrance leads to the cavelike space, where candlelight and plush couches are just right for canoodling, and it offers an eclectic menu of internationally inspired bites too.

Congratulations Terry and Bernard. A greatly well deserved award. Vic Codling Gay Police Association.
This is truly brilliant news. It is good to see that people who make a real difference are being honoured.
Well done Bernard and Terry Reed.
GIRES is the most impressive trans organisation I have come into contact with.
This award is well deserved.
I look forward to the day when campaigners for intersex and LGBTI (note the I) rights are equally so honoured.
I look forward to the day when intersex people have equality, human rights, patient-centred healthcare, and the genitals of intersex newborns are no longer cut up to make them resemble those of non0inersex newborns.
What about gay people getting awards then?

Wanna See My Etch?
If I was setting up a new, or fairly new, computer with Linux I'd probably go with PCLinuxOS, Kubuntu or Ubuntu (they're all really nice) and be happy as a lark but my first Linux computer was old and well used.
Oh we had a newer machine but after I put PCLinuxOS on it my wife liked it so much that I decided to let her have it and I found another for myself. Through the luck of the draw, the one I found for myself was a 333 MHz Dell, still, I was awfully impressed with how well Debian Sarge worked on the Dell and it occurred to me that Linux might offer a way to give a second life to computers that would otherwise be considered obsolete. Maybe it's because I'm getting up there in years and I have grandkids, I don't know, but I kept thinking about what a boon this could be to senior citizens living on fixed incomes who have kids and grandkids they could exchange email with or to grade school students who could derive enormous benefits from early exposure to a computer, even if all they did with it was play games.
So I went searching for the best Linux distribution for computers in the 300 to 600 MHz range and I've been relatively obsessed with the search for roughly fifteen months during which time most popular distros have produced two or three new releases.

Avidemux 2.6.13 Open-Source Video Editor Gets AAC/ADTS Import and Export

5 Best Linux Distros for Security
Security is nothing new to Linux distributions. Linux distros have always emphasized security and related matters like firewalls, penetration testing, anonymity, and privacy. So it is hardly surprising that security conscious distributions are common place. For instance, Distrowatch lists sixteen distros that specialize in firewalls, and four for privacy. Most of these specialty security distributions, however, share the same drawback: they are tools for experts, not average users. Only recently have security distributions tried to make security features generally accessible for desktop users.

Personality captures a person's essence. Understanding one's personality helps explain and predict the decisions an individual makes and what a person will do. This chapter focuses on the predominant structural model of personality—the Five-Factor Model—which encapsulates personality using five higher-order traits: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience/Intellect. The Five-Factor Model is rooted in biology and is genetically based. Personality traits are a major aspect of risk taking and overconfidence behaviors. Understanding personality can improve decision making if it helps to regulate and override dispositional tendencies leading to suboptimal outcomes.

Donna Plecha, M.D., of University Hospitals Case Medical Center co-authored largest 3D study to date of nearly half a million women, published in JAMA
3D Mammography finds significantly more invasive cancers and reduces unnecessary recalls, according to a large, retrospective study published in June 25 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The study features data from University Hospitals Case Medical Center Seidman Cancer Center.
The study, the largest of its kind, focused on the impact of 3D mammography at a diverse range of sites across the U.S, looking at nearly half a million mammograms at 13 sites.
Key Findings:
"This study confirms what we already know: 3D mammography finds more of the invasive, harmful cancers we want found and saves women the anxiety and cost of having additional exams for what turns out to be a false alarm," said the study's co-author Donna Plecha, MD, Director of Breast Imaging at UH Case Medical Center. "We already knew that breast screening saves lives and this study provides us with firm data that 3D mammography is a better test for detecting breast cancer early when it is treatable."
Hologic 3D mammography (breast tomosynthesis) was used exclusively in the study, as they are the only FDA-approved 3D mammography manufacturer. University Hospitals Case Medical Center was involved in the initial research on tomosynthesis and has offered 3D mammography since 2011.
The system combines advanced digital mammography and tomosynthesis-generated images to provide a more detailed, highly focused picture of the breast. These images are then used to produce a series of one-millimeter thick slices that can be viewed as a 3D reconstruction of the breast. Women see little difference between a conventional 2D mammogram and a 3D mammogram. The exam takes just a few seconds longer and the positioning is the same. The real difference is in the information available to the doctor.
The technology gives radiologists the ability to identify and characterize individual breast structures and clearly see features which might be obscured in a traditional 2D mammogram by overlapping normal breast anatomy that may mimic or mask a tumor. Dense tissue and overlapping tissue structures may lead to false positive or false negative results with standard mammography.
Breast cancer is a significant health problem and statistics indicate that one in eight women will develop the disease in her lifetime. The stage at which the cancer is discovered influences a woman's chance of survival and annual mammography after the age of 40 enables physicians to identify the smallest abnormalities. In fact, when breast cancer is detected early and confined to the breast, the five-year survival rate is 97 percent.
"Breast cancers caught in the initial stages by mammography are more likely to be cured and are less likely to require chemotherapy or as extensive surgery," said Dr. Plecha, who is also Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. "This study shows that 3D mammography is a more effective screening tool, and we must make it accessible to all women."
The study, led by Dr. Sarah Friedewald at Advocate Lutheran Hospital in Park Ridge, Il, was published in advance of print on the JAMA website: http://jama.jamanetwork.com/journal.aspx .

UASC's MV Al Muraykh has sailed to UK's new premier hub port and logistics park carrying a world record 18,601 TEU.
London, UK, 2nd January 2016:- DP World London Gateway Port has welcomed one of the world's largest container ships carrying a recorded 18,601 TEU (Twenty Foot Equivalent Units). The UASC owned Al Muraykh chose to call at DP World London Gateway to unload 3,800 containers.
The ship is one of the largest in the world measuring 400 metres in length. The containers are loaded 11 storeys high above deck and 23 containers across the ship. With thousands more stowed below deck, the ship can carry up to 18,800 containers. The ship left Malaysia's Port Klang carrying the most ever shipping containers on board a vessel and arrived at DP World London Gateway Port as its first port of call in Europe.
Many of the goods being unloaded will be on the high streets of the UK in the coming days for the January sales. The vessel's ability to transport large volumes of containers to the UK means the average CO2 output dropped 60% less than normal, making the transportation of goods more sustainable. DP World London Gateway Hub is located closer to key population centres reducing time and costs in UK supply chains.
Mr. Waleed Al Dawood, Chief Operating Officer at UASC commented, "We are extremely proud to have achieved a world record breaking load on board Al Muraykh, the greenest vessel in the world and one of the largest in operation today. Moreover, this voyage marks a very important milestone in our newbuilding and environmental sustainability program with this being the highest utilization of our 18,800TEU eco-efficient class to date."
Mr. Al Dawood added, "The UK is a key market for us and our customers there, like all our customers globally, are increasingly looking for sustainable, green transport solutions. The technology on board Al Muraykh and her sister vessels allow us to provide these solutions and help our customers achieve their own environmental targets."
Simon Moore, CEO, DP World London Gateway, said: "This is a great start to 2016 and we welcome UASC's world record breaking ship to DP World London Gateway Port. The ship's Master, Captain Spisak Andrezej and I, were able to wish each other Happy New Year whilst watching London Gateway's port cranes unload four containers at a time using our quad-lift innovative technology. This ship demonstrates the port can take any vessel afloat and provide world class services to carriers. We are now focused on providing this world class service to cargo owners as cargo is collected. Trucks picking up containers are able to pick up faster and safer than ever before.
Mr Moore added, "As we enter 2016 in full swing, we look forward to opening berth three in the summer. The start of 2016 is seeing record volumes moving across the port, as customers and cargo owners benefit from the location of the UK's 21st Century hub port, ensuring that supply chains are best protected and deliver the best environmental solutions."

TUESDAY'S WITH MORRIE Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Through the movie and book, I asked myself--if I had ever been through what Morrie's had, could I stay in peace like him or teach others about life lesson? He, not only suffered from ALS, but also lost dearest mother then his younger brother had polio. If I were he, how will I deal with that unfortunes? I think I'll feel timid, negative, and have a gloomy personality. But, Morrie didn't. He later on became a successful professor and a good husband and father, who always gave his love to people generously. Sometimes I doubted. How can he take everything so easy? Doesn't he think god is unfair to him or why I am the one who deserve this? Why didn't he become angry or complained all the time?
I finally got my answer when I realized that he didn't pretend that he did not care what hurt him. He accepted all the bad things, and also embraces the negative emotion . He experiences these
the world is still flooded by money. "A wrestling match. the crooked teeth. "Yes." Love. it is depression. you could describe life that way. "Yes. Mitch asks" Morrie smiles at Mitch. The old professor said. In nowadays. Every time I had in great depression. Love always wins. the crinkled eyes." and let them go. I really envy how optimistic he was. "Love wins." A tension of opposites. it is sadness" Or "Yes." Sounds like a wrestling match.feelings and said. I just didn't know what to do except take it or release by shouting or crying to my family and friends. I rarely think of any way out." He laughs. And most of us live in the middle in the society. and fear. Mitch says. power. When Mitch was a college student. one day Morrie mentioned "the tension of opposites". instead of love. Morrie's strongest support came from his strong faith in love. a word people nowadays hear over thousands time everyday. ." So which side wins. like a pull on a rubber band.

The Big Read: Zuma acts the chief, scorns our rule of law The court ruled that Zuma had failed to uphold the Constitution by ignoring orders from the Public Protector that he repay some of the $16 million in state funds spent to renovate his residence at Nkandla.

Gexit? Not so fast, Guptas
Right now the Priority Crimes Investigation Unit (Hawks), which last week summoned Finance Minster Pravin Gordhan and other axed members of the SARS executive to their headquarters in Pretoria, is sitting on a massive "investigation" into the Gupta family's alleged capture of the South African state through their relationship with President Jacob Zuma and the ANC. Huang was part of a delegation that accompanied President Zuma on a state visit to China in 2010. That same year the SARS National Research Group (NRG), led by Johann van Loggerenberg, initiated a probe into Huang's Mpisi Trading, an import/export business. In 2012, 10 SARS officials were suspended following a joint investigation byDaily Maverick q
Sars nails Zuma's son over fraud
At the centre of the dispute is a raid on ATM's cigarette manufacturing business in Pietermaritzburg in 2011. The expensive plant was imported from China. ATM was incorporated in 2009. The company is registered as manufacturing and distributing of tobacco related products. A squad of Sars officials swooped on the premises, seized goods and machinery, shutting the plant down. ATM was later allowed to operate, but the legal wrangle has continued and Zuma and his partners are now immersed in a bitter exchange with Sars officials. In legal papers which our sister paper The Sunday Independent has seen, Zuma accuses the taxman of corruption, racism and running a smear campaign against him. In an affidavitIndependent Online q
Zimbabwe: Mugabe Panics As Soldiers Rampage
Uniformed soldiers on Friday night emptied Harare's night clubs and ruthlessly attacked people on the streets after police triggered violent protests in the capital earlier in the day as President Robert Mugabe's government fought to suppress dissent against his rule. Zimbabwe's 18 opposition parties including former vice-president Joice Mujuru's Zimbabwe People First and MDC led by Morgan Tsvangirai had obtained a High Court order barring police from interfering with their intended demonstration. The parties under the banner of the National Electoral Reform Agenda (Nera) and Coalition for Democrats wanted to protest against unfair electoral laws and systems, but were violently blocked by the police; minutes after the High Court had okayed the event.AllAfrica.com q
DA puts e-tolls on poll agenda
The controversial system, which cost the ANC votes in the 2014 elections, remains a thorn in the side of Gauteng motorists. The DA's mayoral candidates for Gauteng, speaking outside Sanral's offices, pleaded with voters to elect them into power, saying a vote for the party was a vote in favour of eliminating the system. The DA's Tshwane mayoral candidate, Solly Msimang, said if the party won Gauteng's highly coveted metropolitan municipalities, the party would launch multiple efforts to disrupt a further rollout of electronic tolling on the province's freeways.

Joburg will never be the same again
The ANC were hit hard by the Monday blues with the help of a vengeful red tide, writes Madala Thepa. Johannesburg - It was always going to be a day of reckoning at City Hall in Joburg. The shock demise of the ANC-ruled Joburg council made it extraordinarily hard and painful - heartless even - as technology, the producer of speed, began to announce their defeat. The precarious start and countless disruptions at the ballot booths, whether to have the vote secret or not - personal choice versus what the rule book says - only made it worse. As the night drew to a close, outgoing mayor Parks Tau could no longer contain himself. He broke down in tears in the city hall's foyer and minutes later leftIndependent Online q
Second Earth found, and it could be home to ET
London - British astronomers have discovered the nearest Earth-like planet that could be home to alien life. Named Proxima b, it orbits Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our sun. At 4.2 light years away, in space terms it is right on the doorstep – and high speed spaceships now being devised could reach it within decades. In time, scientists say, the rocky planet 1.3 times the size of Earth could even be colonised by space travellers. Proxima b is thought to be only 4.7million miles from its star, one-twentieth of the Earth's distance from the Sun. Its year lasts just 11.2 of our days. One side may be perpetually stuck in daytime, while the other experiences perpetual night. But Proxima Centauri,Independent Online q

A delegation of Indonesian MPs visiting Parliament on Friday asked the Constitutional Review Committee if President Jacob Zuma can be impeached. The Indonesian MPs were visiting guests of the committee this week, having asked earlier this month to sit in on a meeting to observe its processes. During the meeting, a few of the delegates seemed confused as to why the president was not removed from office following the Constitutional Court's ruling that he ignored the Public Protector's findings that he pay back a portion of the money spent on upgrading his Nkandla homestead.

Dear Mr. President, Last year, when you assumed office, the chant of "Change", your campaign slogan, ushered you into the Presidential Villa. Today, cries of "hunger" could be heard across the length and breadth of our vast country. Nigerians hunger, not only for food, but also for good leadership, for peace, security and justice.

South Africa: Two Killed After Street Parking Row
A 40-year-old man has handed himself over to police after he shot three men, killing two, apparently because one of the deceased men had parked in the middle of the road. The incident happened in Butterworth in the Eastern Cape in the early hours of Sunday morning, police said. "The allegation is that the suspect and the deceased were enjoying themselves in a tavern at Zithulele Township... in the early hours of Sunday," said Captain Jackson Manatha.

Not so bright and beautiful for DA
The DA could be tempted to rewrite Cecil Frances Alexander's All Things Bright and Beautiful. With Trollip in the Bay, Joburg in the bag, Mogale City under Lynn Pannell, Bongani Baloyi in Midvaal, Cape Town under Patricia de Lille with Helen Zille at the helm of the Western Cape, things look bright and beautiful for the DA. The jury is still out as to whether the party succeeded because of, or in spite of, its strategy. The DA couldn't care about that, at least for now. In a rapidly urbanising country, whose wealth resides in its cities, the DA's urban creep is remarkable, albeit imperfect and incomplete.

Ask Me: 7 Great, Uncrowded Places to Hike
Hi Michael,
I enjoy your photos and stories tremendously. My wife and I travel the last two weeks of August every summer, and, unfortunately, so do a lot of other people. We like long dayhikes, viewing wildlife and, most of all, quietly enjoying amazing natural surroundings. We often find the national parks way too crowded. It's pretty easy to lose most of the crowds by hitting the trail, but as soon as you're done hiking you are often faced with crowds, lines, and traffic.
Last year we spent our summer vacation in the Sawtooth Mountains and loved it. So many great hikes in a ridiculously beautiful, but not crowded area (by the way, Goat Lake was our favorite hike of the trip). Can you recommend any areas similar to Stanley, Idaho, and the Sawtooth Mountains—a quiet area with all the natural beauty of a national park? I know you speak fondly of the Wind River Range. Is there a centrally located small town that would make a good base for a vacation in the area? Anywhere else you can recommend?
Thanks, man.

Photo Gallery: Celebrating the National Park Service Centennial
By Michael Lanza
When the National Park Service turns 100 on Aug. 25, it will mark not just the diamond anniversary of what writer and historian Wallace Stegner famously called "the best idea we ever had"—it marks the evolution and growth of that idea from a handful of parks created in the early days to a system in many ways without parallel, that protects 52 million acres of mountain ranges, canyons, rivers, deserts, prairies, caves, islands, bays, fjords, badlands, natural arches, and seashores in 59 parks. Without that protection, these places that draw visitors from around the world would otherwise almost certainly have been exploited and destroyed. Continue reading →
Photo Gallery: 10 Amazing National Park Adventures (And How To Pull Them Off)
By Michael Lanza
Yellowstone. Yosemite. Grand Canyon. Glacier. Zion. Grand Teton. These names are iconic to people who love exploring America's national parks. And beyond those flagship parks are dozens more units of the National Park Service (53 more, to be specific) creating infinite opportunities to hike, backpack, kayak, canoe, climb a mountain, fish, and cross-country ski. But where do you begin, and what should you or your family do?
As we celebrate the centennial of the National Park Service, which was created on Aug. 25, 1916—and which The Big Outside will spotlight with special stories all this week—America's passion for its parks has only grown. A record 307.2 million visitors toured a national park, seashore, or historic site in 2015, on the heels of a record 292.8 million visitors in 2014. Will you visit at least one park this year? It's not too late to pull off a trip in 2016, and it's not too early to start thinking about which one to put on the calendar for 2017. Continue reading →
The Demanding Dozen: My 12 Favorite Long Dayhikes
By Michael Lanza
Imagine this: You're heading out on a long, beautiful hike deep in the backcountry, but instead of a full backpack, you carry a light daypack. You've avoided hassles with getting a backcountry permit. There's no camp to set up and pack up, because you're not backpacking, you're dayhiking. Yes, I love backpacking—living in the wilderness, getting into that mindset of not knowing or caring what day it is or what's going on in civilization. And I do it a lot. But sometimes, I'd rather knock off a weekend-length—or longer—hike in one big day. Continue reading →
Ask Me: 8 Great Big Dayhikes in the Tetons
Hi Michael,
I love your blog, very inspiring. I am taking a family trip out to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks with my family at the end of June/early July (about 10 days in the parks). I understand it is the most crowded time of year, but as a teacher and coach and with a wife in education administration, our time off is around the summer busy times. I have two girls age 8 and 10 and we will not be going as BIG as you normally do. We will be staying in various hotels/cabins in and near the parks, but we do intend on trying to get in many dayhikes and see both the popular spots and some off-the-beaten-path spots.
I have read your "Ultimate Family Tour of Yellowstone" post and it is excellent. I have a question about Grand Teton National Park. Continue reading →

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

There's a new wannabe disruptive initiative abroad in networking land that's promising to run roughshod over laggards and standoffish old stalwarts like Cisco that may find it threatening.
The push is gathering behind a deceptively named two-year-old start-up called Big Switch Networks and its notion of software-defined networking (SDN).
SDN is the industry's latest buzzword defined in the last five or six years at Stanford University's Clean Slate Lab by people like Big Switch co- founder and CEO Guido Appenzeller, who reckons it's the biggest thing in networking in the last 20 years.
The idea is to make networking gear universally programmable through the so-called OpenFlow protocol so the stuff can do tricks it's never done before and make everybody's life more pleasant. (Well, almost everybody.)
Big Switch – which just to be clear isn't in the hardware business – has already started shipping its open SDN product suite to let users to create new network applications not possible with non-programmable traditional networks.
In fact, it claims it's already deployed the widgetry in some of the largest and most innovative production networks.
Launched officially last month, it says it waited to come out now with its first generally available production release so it couldn't be accused of promoting vaporware or, for that matter, re-labeling old legacy stuff like a lot of its competition has been doing.
Of course, since the networks it's already on reportedly belong to big- time financial services companies and large high-techs – your typical early adopters – their names are being tightly guarded. However, it appears that two of them at least are Goldman Sachs and Fidelity Investments since they are both backing the ecosystem that has fallen in line behind Big Switch, its open APIs, open standards and platform-independence.
In fact Goldman has put money in Big Switch.
Big Switch claims the ecosystem rallying to its banner represents the largest ecosystem of physical and hypervisor switch, security, cloud orchestration and application partners and includes A10 Networks, Arista Networks, Broadcom, Brocade, Canonical, Cariden, Citrix, Cloudscaling, Coraid, Dell, Endace, Extreme Networks, F5, Fortinet, Gigamon, Infoblox, Juniper Networks, Mellanox, Microsoft, Mirantis, Nebula, Piston Cloud, Palo Alto Networks, Radware, StackOps, ThreatSTOP, and vArmour.
Other big familiar names are reportedly teetering on the brink.
Big Switch's main competitor Nicira, bought for $1.26 billion by VMware this summer, isn't on its list. Its OpenFlow architecture isn't supposed to be as broad as Big Switch's hybrid approach, which is more second generation.
Today we can collect lots and lots of performance data. We build beautiful dashboards and even have fancy query languages to access and transform the data.
