Hadoop Solutions For Big Data

Supermicro and Cloudera Solutions

The Challenge

There is a tremendous amount of information driven by the ever changing applications, from structured, unstructured, to semi-structure data. Conventional IT infrastructure is not built to handle the variety, velocity and volume of the data produced by social media networks, mobile applications, machine sensors and scientific researches, etc. For Enterprises, utilizing big data analytics is no longer a question of when, it is a question of how. Hadoop, designed for the cost effective storage and processing of large volumes of data, is born for this purpose. It can linearly scale up to thousands of servers and petabytes of storage.

How to take advantage of Hadoop technology and gain competitive edge is on the mind of almost every corporate CIO. For enterprises, how to deploy the Hadoop infrastructure efficiently means winning or losing in the big battle of market share. Enterprises deploying Hadoop solutions often spend large amount of resource searching for the best architecture and the most capable solution provider. This is where Supermicro comes in to help.
