What industry is this? There seems to be a lot of spaces where a few smart people could make a lot of difference. And it sure beats doing locsomobile amafacegoosoft.
EDIT: I am genuinely asking about the industry because I want to find spaces to expand to.
- tfigment 12y agoSCADA systems basically is the area you are interested in. Real-time industrial equipment monitoring (and control). Typically these are thick clients but people are clamoring for mobile and thin-client access to real-time data as well as historical time-series data. There are some very serious security threats in this space which is why the gorillas have leverage (not that they are really secure though). Time-series historians are expensive if you log a large amount of data. There are several attempts at this like OpenTSDB which is a historian on hbase and is where GE is trying to go. We looked at their offering briefly and its hard to say if hadoop is good enough for near real-time but it looks good for long-trend analysis I think.
- spitfire 12y agoAhh SCADA systems. Definitely something that should get some serious attention. I'm looking for legacy or underserved complete verticals I can bring some modern technology to. Right now, that's low finance.
