To get started with big data, you will learn how HDS solutions integrate, blend, process and analyse captured data. With Hitachi Hyper Scale-Out Platform and Pentaho Enterprise Data Integration, you will arrive at better decisions.

Pentaho’s Business Analytics allows you to dig down into detailed information through their Pentaho analytics solution.

To put your big data to work, Pentaho Enterprise Data Integration blends all existing and current data, powers big data orchestration, and embeds analytic insights so you will have the right information and at the precise time delivering those insights to the point of greatest impact.

With the Pentaho’s Evaluation Path, you will have the opportunity to test-drive Pentaho Enterprise Data Integration and Pentaho’s Business Analytics too see how it works in real-world terms and through your own data analytics requirements.

A word of caution though. Big data is not an IT exercise that happens in isolation. Whilst HDS provide the tools and the framework, there are two other components that are vital for the HDS, or any big data solution to deliver meaningful insights. First, the business MUST be completely committed to the implementation as ultimately it is the business and not IT that will be asking the questions of the data. Next, you must have clearly defined goals and aims at the outset.

You won’t get into a car and start driving before you know where you are headed, or buy a train ticket until you ascertain a destination. Similarly, big data is not something you can jump into and hope it will magically reveal hidden secrets. Using big data effectively is a quest, one in which you need to know what you are looking for before you start.
