HEALTHCARE 4.0
DATASTAX IS A Silicon Valleybased mature start-up working with customers such as eBay , Walmart and MacDonalds , while partnering with organisations like Accenture , Capgemini and Deloitte , who have recognised the company ’ s disruptive technology enables them to win more projects .
At the start of the decade , a database development by Facebook recognised the requirement of coping with huge amounts of data . Facebook put that in the hands of the open source community when it became an Apache Cassandra project – DataStax was the organisation behind the development of that Cassandra database platform , providing 85 % of the code for that product over the last seven years .
We asked Martin James , RVP for Western Europe at DataStax , the following on the company and the future of IoT in healthcare .
So , Martin , why should healthcare companies choose DataStax ? “ We ’ re able to operate at scale with large volumes of data in real time . Babylon Health achieved an
eye watering level of scalability so supporting companies in that pursuit is a real sweet spot for us . The talk in the last eight years around big data has seen a lot of money made around it , but I ’ m not sure true functionality is being delivered .
“ Big data is often a batch-oriented thing to enable you to put large amounts of data into a data lake for analytics , but that ’ s after the event .
