TDWI Research announced the release of its newest Best Practices Report, Hadoop for the Enterprise: Making Data Management Massively Scalable, Agile, Feature-Rich, and Cost-Effective. This original, survey-based research focuses on helping business users understand the many new products, technologies, and best practices that have emerged. It also helps readers map newly available options to real-world use cases, with a focus on mainstream enterprise uses while respecting tried-and-true IT practices and delivering maximum business value.

“Hadoop proved its worth as a highly scalable data platform for reporting and analytics in Internet firms and other digital organizations,” notes Philip Russom, author of the report. In today’s enterprises, he points out, Hadoop must prove its worth by satisfying stringent requirements that IT and business users demand, including handling exploding data volumes and getting BI value from non-structured data, among other drivers.

The report examines how Hadoop adoption is accelerating, and predicts that by 2016, 60 percent of respondents will have Hadoop in production, which it calls a “giant step forward” in Hadoop use.

Russom introduces readers to the variety of Hadoop drivers, including how Hadoop extends the life of other platforms while wringing value from big data. User stories illustrate Hadoop’s benefits, including enabling modern data archive practices, and how Hadoop and other platforms can coexist in modern hybrid data architectures. Real-world users explain why Hadoop is important in their environments.

Report Highlights

This comprehensive report discusses:

    Use of Hadoop, from extending data warehouses and managing data archives to enhancing data exploration and discovery
    Hadoop’s benefits (including data scalability and advanced analytics) and barriers (such as security concerns and a lack of skilled staff)
    How ownership of Hadoop is increasingly in the hands of central IT
    Job titles of those working with Hadoop, plus the multiple staffing strategies enterprises are combining to support the technology
    The types of tools available for Hadoop development
    Best practices for addressing Hadoop security, data quality, and data architecture issues
    Technical issues, such as a close examination of HDFS clusters and nodes
    Using YARN to make Hadoop enterprise grade

Russom explores modern trends in Hadoop implementations, as well as the top 10 priorities for making Hadoop enterprise grade, including comments about why these priorities are important.

This research was sponsored by Actian Corporation, Cloudera, EXASOL, IBM, MapR Technologies, MarkLogic, Pentaho, SAS, Talend, and Trillium Software.

Foster City, CA (PRWEB) March 26, 2012

Data is only valuable to a company if it can be acted on. The faster organizations are able to move from gathering to acting, the bigger the strategic advantage. Corporate IT departments are feeling the pressure as the push to use big data grows and corporate SLAs become increasingly demanding due to the globalization and consumerization of enterprise IT. In order to meet this demand for action, companies need to make sure they are addressing the Velocity aspect of Big Data solutions, rather than just Variety and Volume.

GridGain (http://www.gridgain.com), the Java-based open source middleware platform for real time big data processing, is announcing the availability of GridGain 4.0. GridGain software addresses Velocity as well as Volume and Variety by processing live data using their unique integration of highly scalable compute and in-memory data grid technologies. Unlike complex, decade-old SQL, ERP or Hadoop ETL systems that use dead data for batch offline processing, GridGain 4.0 allows businesses to harness live data for smarter, low latency real time transactional and analytical processing.
