2. If you can't explain it
simply, you don't
understand it well
enough.
-Albert Einstein

3. The Promise of Big Data
• 90% of the world’s data was created in the last 2
years
• Data with potential to add more value to the
business is Big Data
• Small Data is useful to some extent but Big Data
brings more visibility and transparency
• Simply put, Big Data means Big ROI if configured
correctly

4. Driving Better Business Decisions:
“Precaution is better than Cure"
• Effective and timely Data Analysis to monitor
business growth
• Better profits by fulfilling artificial intelligence
• Fraud detection
• Log management solutions
• Machine data analysis
• Data warehouse enhancements

5. Industry Impact
• Mobile/Digital Advertising
• Retail
• Healthcare

6. Is Big Data for You?
• Objective of Big Data Project
• Skilled staff “Most Challenging”
• Infrastructure
• Picking the right technology and tools for Data
processing and analysis
• Data Cleanup strategy before it hits the storage
• Strategy to protect PII
• Archiving strategy

7. Tectonic Technology Shift
• Buzzwords: “Big Data” “No
SQL” and “Hadoop”
• Compliance
• Data analysis and data
management
• Horizontal vs. vertical scaling
• Artificial Intelligence – 3R’s
“ Right information to Right People at the Right time”

8. Big Data Ain’t Easy
• Network
• Servers
• Storage
• Backups
• Archiving
• Cooling and
heating
• Compliance
• Engineering
resources

9. Big Data Meets Cloud:
A Match Made in Heaven
• Cloud and big data makes a great
marriage
• Public vs. Private cloud
• Public cloud infrastructure tends to
be generic – built for the masses but
not specifically designed to address
any particular challenge
• Private Cloud is the most popular
option because of more control of
performance, resources and security

10. Enter Hadoop…as a Service
• Hadoop-as-a-Service = affordable solution for small
and medium-sized enterprises
• Pay for bytes in use and compute time in
consumption
• Business focuses on data analysis and service
provider focuses on data management
• HaaS on Private cloud deployments helps to
address specific business requirements like
performance, security and compliance
• Horizontal scaling and flexibility to scale up and
down based on usage or “auto elasticity”

11. Is A Secure
Infrastructure Enough?
• Opportunity for new startups
• Key challenge is taking full advantage of data
without exposing or risking sensitive data
• Once in production, be ready for auditing
• Data-centric (encryption, tokenizing, masking)
protection is the way to go
• Extensive efforts involved in the discovery phase will
only get more challenging as data grows

12. What’s Next for Big Data?
• Accurate Intelligence to let go of Data
• Mature data analytics with the capability to do all
in one
• Flexibility and ease to bring RDBMS manpower on to
new technology
• Big Data and compliance – automate data
discovery and protection
