Many Analytic Tools Work with Hadoop - The answer is a little bit of 'yes' and a big bit of 'no.' Hadoop, recognized as a de facto standard, enjoys widespread analytic tool support. That is the small bit of 'yes.' The big bit of 'no' is that traditional tools just "connect" to Hadoop. To these tools, Hadoop is just another data store or database to get data from. Besides this data link, these tools reside and execute in a totally different environment. This vastly limits how much the tools can utilize the Big Data OS. The PC analogy is how non-Windows software can connect to Windows to access files stored on it, yet it is not an application running on Windows...

Self-service Data Mashup Cases - Although they may still have some cases of information being stored on the side, which is pretty ubiquitous today. I think we see this self-service data mashup with a few of the BI platforms and the BI tools, such as InetSoft's. They've all added features for the end user to bring some piece of data from the side. And there's something I always struggled with as a manager of BI group, and that was, as much as we tried to get all of the information into the BI environment, but we could never get 100%.

Think of This Data Access Platform - Think of this data access platform as a very rapid platform for developing agile data access. So there are really three steps.

Webinar About Enabling Real Time Data Exploration - Decision making is dynamic and complex, and the information has to lead to insights. Insights from data should be live and available at all levels. Business intelligence used to be available up in the C level office, but it needs to be accessible because there are people who can offer insights or offer analytical tools to help others understand and share that information.

Why Enable Big Data for Customer Use? I think you said some really insightful points there. There are definitely a lot of cultural aspects of IT letting go of the front-end aspect and really focusing on the data infrastructure.

When we talk about Big Data, a lot of times we just talk about the data volumes or things like Hadoop. But the reality is that there is now a growing number of data sources that customers are deploying, whether it's the Hadoop stack or the NoSQL Stack or the Cloud data sources...
