- What is Analytic Infrastructure and Why Should You Care? – "We define analytic infrastructure to be the services, applications, utilities and systems that are used for either preparing data for modeling, estimating models, validating models, scoring data, or related activities. For example, analytic infrastructure includes databases and data warehouses, statistical and data mining systems, scoring engines, grids and clouds. Note that, with this denition, analytic infrastructure does not need to be used exclusively for modeling but simply useful as part of the modeling process. In this article, we discuss the importance of analytic infrastructure and some of the standards that can be used to support analytic infrastructure. We also discuss some specialized analytic infrastructure applications and services, including applications that can manage very large datasets and build models over them and cloud based analytic services."
