The Big Data transformation headed for the enterprise will be driven by the nature of applications and the new data repository. That means agile applications scaling horizontally will challenge the vertically-scaled notions of infrastructure, said former EMC President and theCUBE alumnus Rich Napolitano in a live interview with Dave Vellante and Jeff Kelly at Big Data NYC.

Applications, compute, networking, and storage are at a point where the boundaries between the fundamental building blocks are shifting, and applications are rewriting infrastructure to meet their requirements, Napolitano added.

These new requirements must scale and to do so, they need tremendous agility, Napolitano explained. In order to build an agile architecture, one needs to start from the top down. It all starts with the application, not the infrastructure.
