Brief History of Containers  While containers are certainly a very popular topic right now, containers themselves are not new. They have existed for many years. FreeBSD, Solaris Zones, LXC...there are many incarnations of containerization technology.  You may ask - then why is Docker so popular ? For a few good reasons, but mainly because Docker created a very easy to use framework for deploying and sharing containers on standard Linux builds.  There are still many challenges to address in this space, however! Security, isolation and data persistence are areas that are arguably not ready for the Enterprise just yet.  What are Containers? Containers are an OS-level virtualization method in which the kernel of an operating system allows for multiple isolated user-space instances, instead of just one.

Big data  (also spelled Big Data) is a general term used to describe the voluminous amount of unstructured and semi-structured data a company creates -- data that would take too much time and cost too much money to load into a relational database for analysis. Although Big data doesn't refer to any specific quantity, the term is often used when speaking about petabytes and exabytes of data. To clarify matters, the three Vs of volume, velocity and variety are commonly used to characterize different aspects of big data. Big data is being enabled by inexpensive storage, a proliferation of sensor and data capture technology, increasing connections to information via the cloud and virtualized storage infrastructures, and innovative software and analysis tools. Big data is not a "thing" but instead a dynamic/activity that crosses many IT borders. IDC defines it this way:  Big data technologies describe a new generation of...
