Join Dr. Phil Shelley as he explains using Hadoop to solve the problems with big data and analytics in large organizations.
Event Details
The now mature capabilities of the Hadoop ecosystem have created new opportunities to manage and leverage data. There has long been the need, but not the capability, to leverage granular, full history data, in near real-time. Analytics efforts have been previously hampered by technology limitations and the cost restrictions associated with Enterprise Data Warehouses or traditional solutions.
In recent years, a growing number of companies have begun to build an Enterprise Data Hub (EDH) based on Hadoop, augmenting and in some cases gradually replacing legacy Data Warehouses. Traditional ETL processes, along with the associated latency and costs, are collapsed by the EDH concept, bringing near real-time analytics to full-depth data. Batch analytics are gradually giving way to real-time streaming, driven in part by mobile solutions and the need for business to more quickly react and be agile. Governance and security implications will also be discussed.
This will be an interactive session, aimed at learning and sharing.
