Rethink Big
Rethink Big, Roadmap for European Technologies in Hardware Networking for Big Data
A two-year European project funded by the European Commission through the Seventh Research Framework Program (FP7-ICT / Support Actions) and under Project No 619788. The project started in March 2014.
The objective of the Rethink Big project is to bring together the key European system architects and the consumers of big Data systems, to describe a coherent vision that will highlight the various business and technical challenges within the EU, and to achieve success by addressing the need of EU for the processing and the analysis of Big Data over the next 10 years.
Our contribution:
- Large-scale data management.
- Controlling and optimizing the processing chain from hardware to software, in line with the datacenter as a computer approach with the goal to minimize costs to the limit of current possibility.
- Experimenting with cool-free datacenter and co-designing together with No Rack unconventional server settings to achieve higher performance per unit of euro spent for both compute and storage of heterogeneous unstructured data from the web.
