At first glance, the data fabric and the data mesh concepts sound quite similar. Meshes are often made from a type of fabric, after all, and they are both malleable items that can be lain atop things–in this case, your IT systems that are subject to the ever-growing data crush. But there are fundamental differences to these two approaches, so it’s worth taking some time to learn their differences.

Data fabric is a hot, emerging market that delivers a unified, intelligent, and integrated end-to-end platform to support new and emerging use cases. The sweet spot is its ability to deliver use cases quickly by leveraging innovation in dynamic integration, distributed and multicloud architectures, graph engines, and distributed in-memory and persistent memory platforms. Data fabric focuses on automating the process integration, transformation, preparation, curation, security, governance, and orchestration to enable analytics and insights quickly for business success. It minimizes complexity by automating processes, workflows, and pipelines, generating code and streamlining data to accelerate various use cases such as customer 360, data science, fraud detection, internet-of-things (IoT) analytics, risk analytics, and healthcare insights.

If you take nothing else away from this post, it should be that retention matters. A lot. No other metric is as singularly telling of whether your business will thrive or die. And so, the better you understand what good retention looks like for your business, the better shot you have at the former. We hope this research proves useful to you whether you’re building, investing, or just curious.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: with every product moving to a SaaS, pay as you go, model, retention has become a key metric to consider. This post delivers insights into retention metrics for GOOD and GREAT retention numbers. I'd love to see similar posts on email open rates, ecommerce conversion, app usage, etc.

AWS Snowmobile is an exabyte-scale data transfer service used to move extremely large amounts of data to AWS. You can transfer up to 100PB per Snowmobile, a 45-foot long ruggedized shipping container, pulled by a semi-trailer truck. Snowmobile makes it easy to move massive volumes of data to the cloud, including video libraries, image repositories, or even a complete data center migration. Transferring data with Snowmobile is secure, fast and cost effective.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Moving large amounts of data to the cloud - petabytes and exabytes - would take years to do if transferred using networks and the Internet. Amazon provides its customers with dedicated and secure hard drives - they call snowballs - and truck - they call snowmobiles - to move the data from one data center to the next.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT There are limits to our network infrastructures and physical solutions often are required to migrate data to the cloud or digitize products. For example scanning paper files or converting books to digital ones often require specialized equipments in order to perform the work rapidly and cost effectively. Google had patented a book scanning equipment in order to create its Google books project in the past. I assume this same kind of innovation will start to happen in other fields as well. http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/13/3639016/google-books-scanner-vacuum-diy https://books.google.com/googlebooks/about/
