Why is the SMB relying more on Big Data?
Big Data is becoming more critical to the SMB.
Why is the SMB relying on Big Data that was once only important to the large enterprise? The SMB simply recognized the need to analyze factors that affect their ability to remain competitive in a global market. These factors that affect the SMB business are concealed within the depths of structured and unstructured data.
To remain competitive, the SMB must understand sentiment, cyclical headwinds and other related influences. These non-traditional factors are contained in unstructured data from Social Media and News sources. As XO states about unstructured data: A massive surge in unstructured data creates tough challenges for IT. Businesses need more intelligent network infrastructure to support their Big Data plans.
Structured data that would describe the typical customers and sales data in the CRM and ERP applications would be challenging enough. In the Post “Big Data” Means More than Just Lots of Data, a white paper from Mint Jutras suggests that “businesses of all sizes need to be concerned about Big Data.”
More SMBs are understanding that they need to analyze structured and unstructured data as a single source. That is Big Data.
With the importance of high volume and velocity data increasing, data backup and the ability to quickly recover data after a disaster is critical.

When is Time More Important Than Money? – During Data Recovery
We have all heard the phrase “time is money”. But, when is time more important than money? The answer is during recovery of your data after some catastrophic event.
IBM Tivoli Storage Management (TSM) has been reducing recovery time, without compromising backup time, from its inception; and continues through its most recent product releases.
In comparison, traditional backup methodologies attempt to conserve backup time by using periodic full backups combined with more frequent incremental or differential backups. This approach makes restores more complex and time consuming as users must first restore the most recent full backup, then restore subsequent incremental backups to recover to the current point in time. TSM’s progressive incremental backup technology makes one initial full backup, but all subsequent backups are incremental. When combined with TSM’s advanced data management techniques, this enables fast full restores without the complexity of managing multiple backup sets. Users get the speed and recoverability benefits of a daily full backup in addition to the reduced network traffic and data storage requirements of incremental backups.
