INTRODUCING BIG DATA 1
Data for competitive advantage.
Customer segmentation, financial modeling, system analysis, line-of-sight, business intelligence. Using
data
Generation Collection & storage Analytics & computation Collaboration & sharing
Cost of data generation is falling.
Generation Collection & storage Analytics & computation Collaboration & sharing
lower cost, increased throughput
Generation Collection & storage Analytics & computation Collaboration & sharing
HIGHLY CONSTRAINED
Very high barrier to turning data into information.
Move from a data generation challenge to analytics challenge.
Enter the Cloud.
Remove the constraints.
Enable data-driven innovation.
Move to a distributed data approach.
Maturation of two things.
Maturation of two things. Software for distributed storage and analysis

Infrastructure for distributed storage and analysis
Frameworks for data-intensive workloads. Software Distributed by design.
Platform for data-intensive workloads. Infrastructure Distributed by design.
Support the data timeline.
