Predictive analytics has been around for a while and is applicable in several forms, most notably in business intelligence (BI) where you see it applied in areas such as Web traffic and consumer data analysis. It can also be applied to IT operations such as networking.

“Predictive analytics for IT is about understanding vast amounts of real-time data to forecast performance issues before they affect users,” said Daniel Heimlich, vice president at Netuitive.
