Open source Apache Hadoop is a great framework for distributed processing of large data sets. But there’s a difference between "playing" with big data versus solving real problems. The reality is that Hadoop alone might not be enough. Experience IBM’s enterprise-class Hadoop product, InfoSphere BigInsights, which enhances open source Hadoop with required enterprise capabilities including: analytics, visualization, security, standard SQL, enterprise HBase, developer/admin tools, Big Data Exploration and more. The morning session will include interactive Big Data use case (http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/bigdata/use-cases.html) discussions, an overview of what is big data, live demonstrations of key Big Data and Analytic components.
