Apache Mesos delivers resource management across the entire data center. This allows a company's operations team to tune the performance of the entire software stack by shifting resources between applications without having to re-engineer software. Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark together deliver all of the processing power for handling big data. Custom enterprise applications can leverage Hadoop and Spark to deliver the enterprise functionality, while Mesos can balance the resources across the data center. This presentation will focus on an end-to-end use case for the architecture and benefits that can be delivered with this software stack. These benefits will include operational efficiencies, better CPU utilization, and simplified software architectures.
