Webinar: Datameer & Bigstep CEOs get together to talk analytics on Hadoop

Analytics on Hadoop in minutes instead of days

Bigstep CEO Flaviu Radulescu and Datameer CEO Stefan Groschupfsat down and discussed big data, analytics on Hadoop, Hadoop-as-a-Service, and the cloud. The entire webinar is available here.

The discussion highlighted :

•  How business users can start integrating, preparing, analyzing, and visualizing all their data in hours instead of months.

•  How department managers can now leverage insights from big data without waiting for an enterprise Hadoop deployment

With Hadoop becoming known as the latest and greatest analytics tool, businesses of all sizes are looking to it for quick insights. However, many firms lack the skills and resources for a traditional on-premise deployment. Together with Datameer we deliver a solution that enables businesses to leverage the power of Hadoop analytics immediately.

Beyond on premise - The myth

Another hot topic of the webinar was the cost of running analytics in the cloud versus on premise.

Flaviu explained that there’s so much competition in the cloud market that pricing tends to decrease by an average of 30% per year. On premise, on the other hand, only grows more inefficient as time passes.  On premise also requires buying extra spare capacity, which most of the time stays unused, so resource allocation is never optimal.

Security is essential

Unlike other public clouds, the Full Metal Cloud was designed specifically for big data. Security is an integral part of Datameer on Full Metal:  “ Your environment is completely isolated from all other customers. There’s no sharing, like in virtualized clouds. It’s just as if you had your own hardware. There is no way for anyone to get unauthorized access to your data. “ Flaviu stated during the webinar.
