Bigstep x BDW: The Big Data Event You Want to Attend

With the world turning more and more to the online, we all feel the need for social interaction. But this new do-everything-online environment is also creating a lot of data, which in turn calls for better server infrastructure to store it and for the use of big data technologies to analyze it. Online events can help with both needs: while networking will never be the same as at a live event, attending conferences online can both help you meet professionals throughout the world, and keep you updated with the latest trends.

Why Join An Online Conference?

As much as we love in-person events, online conferences have a few perks of their own. For instance, online conferences promote diversity and people from different countries can build their global network more easily. Instead of booking a flight and a hotel, spending a few hours on an airplane, and making sure to reach the venue in time for the keynote, simply save the date in your calendar and attend with just one click. Use this chance to connect with professionals that would be hard to contact otherwise.

Besides reaching a wider audience, you can listen to keynote speakers from across the globe and easily ask them questions about their talks and innovative projects. Attend virtual stands for top companies you’re interested in, and discuss with them at a click of a button. With the onset of the pandemic, online event platforms have tried recreating the offline experience as much as possible, by creating networking areas, private chats and video calls, demo video rooms, a feature to exchange business cards, and more.

What is Bigstep’s Involvement in BDW Bucharest Online?

We have been a presenting partner for Big Data Week since 2015, joining them in live events in Chicago, London, and Bucharest. This year, we have partnered up with eSolutions.ro to provide the same knowledge and innovation to our business and tech audience, in a new online format adjusted to these times.

During the conference, Serban Mateescu, Software Developer at Bigstep, will discuss how to monitor millions of devices spread across hundreds of thousands of edge locations by using a map-reduce style approach. MetalSoft, the intelligent bare metal automation platform is designed to be scalable and can handle a wide range of scenarios, and Serban will explain in detail how it works. Find out more details here: Distributed Monitoring for the Edge Cloud.

We’ll also be present at the event with a hands-on workshop on how to build, operate, and monetize a network of tiny geographically distributed data centers. Held by Alex Bordei, VP of Product & Engineering at MetalSoft, and Sergiu Caraian, Lead Frontend Developer at Bigstep, this session is intended for sysadmins, CTO, CDO, and big data professionals, as well as for everyone interested in learning more about edge computing and 5G. Find out more details here: Building an Edge Cloud.

Moreover, we will provide a specifically-setup and provisioned infrastructure for the intro course to big data taking place on October 8. The course will use a Hortonworks cluster for NiFi, Kafka, and Spark, while participants will have access to their own virtual machines.
