The Spark for Real-Time Decision Making (Talend)

Until now, Hadoop has been the platform of choice for analysis and computation, but as data velocity continues to become critical to solving problems, the need for real-time analytics without significant financial investment has become essential.

Greg Meimers, Talend Solutions Engineer, will demonstrate how Kafka and Apache Spark Streaming are helping organizations to bridge the gap between data and decisions. Greg will also show you how to take advantage of these technologies in a live demonstration.
