• BT Apprentices will demonstrate how data is being transmitted using optical fibres – the thickness of human hair!

  by Michael Mckeaveney

  Presented by Hackney UTC in partnership with BT.

  The world is changing and moving away from copper to fibre optics. New technology means that we are now able to deliver data speeds of over 100mb to businesses and homes. There will be hands on demonstration of optical fibre splicing and fusion. This will show how fibres are joined together using a sophisticated machine that precisely aligns and then fuses the fibres together to create the new network.

• On demand reporting and analytics with Big Data

  by Matthew Cooke

  Companies are collecting more data today than ever before, but as the volume of data increases from terabytes to petabytes many companies are struggling to make good use of this data.
  This session will show some of the ways that the latest analytic databases and traditional data-warehousing design can be used in this new data driven world to provide customers with on-demand reporting over very large data sets.

  Questions answered:
  How can we build flexible on-demand reporting systems over huge data sets?
  How can we scale up existing systems as the volumes of data we are all collecting increases so quickly?
  How can modern analytic systems be used with big data processing tools such as Hadoop, Hive and Pig to bring on-demand/custom reporting over very large data sets?
