BIG DATA & BIG ENTERPRISES

For decades, companies have been making business decisions based on transactional data stored in relational databases. Beyond that critical data, however, is a potential treasure trove of non-traditional, less structured data: weblogs, social media, photographs etc. that can be mined for useful information. Decreases in the cost of both storage and compute power have made it feasible to collect this data - which would have been thrown away only a few years ago. As a result, more and more companies are looking to include non-traditional yet potentially very valuable data in their business intelligence analysis. Some of those big enterprises that have entered the world of Big Data with their flagship technologies/products are listed below:

·         IBM Big Insights - IBM Big Insights brings the power of Hadoop to the enterprise.

·         Microsoft HDInsight - HDInsight enables you to get up and running with your own Apache Hadoop cluster in Windows and Azure cloud in just minutes.

·         Oracle - Oracle offers the broadest and most integrated portfolio of products to help you acquire and organize these diverse data sources and analyzes them alongside your existing data to find new insights and capitalize on hidden relationships.

·         Google Big Query - Analyse Big Data in the cloud using SQL and get real-time business insights in seconds using Google BigQuery.

·         Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) - Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) combines the power and cost-effectiveness of Apache Hadoop with the advanced services and reliability required for enterprise deployments.
  • Cloudera - Cloudera offers enterprises a powerful new data platform built on the popular Apache Hadoop open-source software package.
