Yesterday’s Snowflake User Group Meetup in Singapore was a full house. 💯 We talked about the main steps of building, deploying and iterating an end-to-end ML pipeline in Snowflake and dbt. Thank you, Michael Han, Jing Yu Lim and Nhat Nguyen, for sharing valuable tips and best practices via presentation and demo. We also heard from Grab, whose data reconciliation efforts have already paid off, speeding up processing x4 and getting costs down by a whopping 50%. 🤯 Looking forward to the next meetup edition. Drop us a line if you are looking to capitalise on your data. We know how to help. #SnowflakeUsers #Singapore #SnowflakeDataCloud

*** APAC Data-Driven Digital Transformation Use Case *** A Thai client, a leader in their space, asked us to assess their web, mobile application, and cybersecurity posture. During the discovery phase, I inquired about their most significant pain point. The client discussed how the Sales and Marketing team used many IT staff resource hours for their BI application. In addition, their ad-hoc queries were slowing down the production DB. KPO's Splunk team, the 888 Splunkers, requested the client's DB admin to dump the associated tables into CSV files. Ingesting the data into Splunk, the 888 Splunkers fulfilled all the client's POC requirements and created visual and table dashboards. The client was impressed and continued to inquire if we could replicate comparison data from other sources. The 888 Splunkers recommended connecting the sales and marketing core data in Splunk to Tableau via an ODBC connection. The solution enables the client to leverage their BI investment and expand the data further by integrating third-party data. Watch the attached video: Tableau and Splunk - Unlocking Machine Generated Data. Splunk can ingest petabytes of structured and unstructured data and deliver real-time data insight into your people, processes, and technology. Contact Donald Wong at [email protected] to learn how the 888 Splunkers can liberate any data, enabling you to gain insight into your data and make informed decisions. Follow KPO as we continue our Thai customer's data-driven digital transformation journey with Splunk Observability and KPO's Best-of-Breed IT, OT, IoT cybersecurity, compliance, and risk management solutions. #thailand #apac #usa #kpoitconsulting #splunk #tableau #salesforce #tanium #qmulos #nozominetworks #proofpoint #sonatype #cymulate #zscaler #intuitionsoftech #resecurity https://lnkd.in/g3vFp-Wv.

Another case about how users save money by adopting Apache Doris: Migrating from BigQuery to Apache Doris is saving them $4500 per month! 💰 Use case: Data Lakehouse 🌊 Why they opted for Apache Doris: MySQL protocol, high availability, scalability, high performance... To accommodate their data size and the 20TB everyday data scanning volume, they use: 🖥 3 Frontends (Followers), each with 20GB RAM, 12 CPU, SSD 200 GB 🖥 1 Frontend (Observer), 8GB RAM, 8CPU, SSD 100GB 🖥 3 Backend, each with 64GB RAM, 32 CPU, SSD 3TB Kudos to Dien, Tran Thanh, an active and supportive user in the Apache Doris community, for sharing his valuable experience and insights! #BigQuery #database #bigdataanalytics #opensource #datalake

AWS deepens commitment to Singapore with additional SG$12 billion investment by 2028 and new flagship AI programme. What does this mean? 1. A new flagship AI programme called "AWS AI Spring" for up-skiling, adoption, co-funding and R&D. 2. Doubling the existing cloud infrastructure to more than S$23 billion by 2028 - contribute S$23.7 billion to Singapore’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 12K jobs. 3. AWS data centers becoming water positive (water+) by 2030, returning more water to communities than it uses in its direct operations. #AWSSingapore

English: Our article about Data Spaces, Dataspace Protocol, Eclipse Dataspace Component (EDC) has been published. This is a series in IT Leaders, which is one of top web media in Japan. No.7 https://lnkd.in/g9e978qf Until No.6 of series, Univ. of Tokyo members wrote about CADDE, one of Connector open source software. Then, from No.7, NTT DATA members write about Data Spaces, Dataspace Protocol, Eclipse Dataspace Component (EDC). You can understand not only overview of concepts and technologies but also how you can use it as a first step. EDC is adopted for multiple projects such as Catena-X. I supose it's also good for companies that aren't based in Europe to know what it's like. Author: Kentaro Kakui, MASARU DOBASHI, Takuma Yagi, Rintaro Watanabe (Engineers and experts of our team:-) 日本語： 連載が続いているIT Leadersの記事ですが、第７回からはData Spaces、Dataspace Protocol、Eclipse Dataspace Components（EDC）について紹介していきます。 第７回 https://lnkd.in/g9e978qf 第６回までは東大の皆さん中心による、Data Spacesに関する世の動向からCADDE（Data Spacesを利用するためのコネクタソフトウェアのひとつ。大まかにいえば…）まで紹介がありました。第７回からはNTTデータのメンバーにバトンタッチし、打って変わって、欧州でよく用いられつつあるDataspace Protocol、Eclipse Dataspace Components（EDC）の紹介です。EDCは自動車業界Data SpaceのひとつであるCatena-Xなどで採用されています。欧州に拠点を持たない企業にとっても、どういうものかを知ることは良いことだと思います。 概要がわかるだけではなく、実際に動かしてみることもできるのでぜひお楽しみください。 著者：角井 健太郎、MASARU DOBASHI、八木 拓馬、渡邊 凜太郎（うちのチームのエンジニアやエキスパートの一部メンバーで執筆しています） International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) #EDC #Eclipse #CADDE #NTTDATa #DataSpaces #DataSpace #OpenSourceSoftware #DataspaceProtocol

In a world where data is the lifeblood of your business, even a single minute of downtime or data loss can result in missed opportunities and frustrated customers. To prevent this, a well-managed data center is essential - and it all starts with 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. Each component plays a crucial role in ensuring efficiency, reliability, and security. Let’s explore the core components that make up a top-tier data center:  〰️ What are the key components of a data center?  〰️ What specific role does each component play?  〰️ How does it all work together?

This event just ended earlier this afternoon. It went on longer than planned, but it was all because of enthusiastic participation of those attending - especially the children. Thanks to Abhishek Parolkar ⏎, Laurence Liew, Li Ming Tsai and Gideon Simons for the ideas and the conversations with the participants. Engaging with children who are the future of humanity has always inspired me. Their curiosity and enthusiasm (if not pummeled and snuffed out by school) will bring untold new ideas to the world. AI is but a passing phase, especially generative AI. We will find ways to manage and mitigate the negative aspects of AI (as with any technology). What would remain is the learnings and the connecting of dots and ideas that humans do extremely well. During my talk/sharing, I cited Jean Piaget (https://lnkd.in/gvu5amgm) who remarked: "Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do: when neither innateness nor learning has prepared you for the particular situation." That observation is very true. We know octopuses, crows, chimpanzees and many other animals have a means of exhibiting intelligence when faced with situations that they had not experienced before. It is only humans who, after figuring things out, document it, extend it and find new knowledge and make it part of culture. That is intelligence in a nutshell. Will "AI" do that? I seriously doubt so - but I will be happy to be corrected when it does happen. My slide deck is available on speakerdeck.com and the link is in the comments. #ai #opensource

2/2 The ITU-T Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things for Digital Agriculture (FG-AI4A) concluded its work and reported back to its parent group ITU-T SG20. The Focus Group explored the potential of emerging technologies including AI and IoT in many areas, such as improving modelling from a growing volume of agricultural and geospatial data, and providing effective communication for interventions related to the optimization of agricultural production processes. FG-AI4A experts also examined relevant concepts, and remaining gaps in the current standardization landscape related to agriculture, while also underscoring the best practices and barriers related to the use of AI and IoT-based technologies within this domain. FG-AI4A approved the following deliverables: Glossary - Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) for Digital Agriculture​ Technical Report on Ethical Legal, and regulatory Considerations relating to the use of AI for agriculture”: A European Perspective​​ Technical Report on Data Modelling for digital agriculture Technical Report on Use Cases for AI and IoT for Digital Agriculture​ Technical Report on Standardization gaps and roadmap for AI and IoT in digital agriculture​ To learn more, visit the FG-AI4A website.
