NSA (Yes, US Security Agency) has just released a REAL product free to the Open Source Community. It intends to move the "needle" forward of disparant data objects that exist over various platforms.

This brings the whole mission of BIG DATA, which is what members in this community now have, with our GBs and TBs of data on DVDs/CDs/USBs/HDDs/tape/diskette/SSDs/etc. into a realization that unlike our forefathers, information is now electronic and needs tools to make ease in our access and use of those personal items we have collected.

Hope this info is helpful in seeing how our data needs connectivity and management.
