Welcome
to the November edition of The Art of Service
magazine. After a short hiatus, the magazine has returned featuring
some hot new articles on the latest and greatest in the tech sector.
This month’s magazine release keeps with our cloud computing
theme, and we cover several different avenues and strategies that
businesses have taken to stay current with the recent explosions in
cloud computing.
In our feature article, we raise some important questions about data
in the cloud and show how Big Data and the cloud are changing out
lives and businesses.
In addition to investigating the future of video gaming and the cloud,
we outline the explosive growth of big data and tell you what that
means for your business.
Enjoy reading, and, if you have any questions regarding this
month’s edition, send us an email at:

There is a lot of buzz around Big Data and the NOSQL movement these days and
rightly so. The issues with data have essentially been two-fold: find cost effective
ways to store ever increasing amounts of data and information, and find ways to
mine this information to extract meaningful Business Intelligence.
