Introduction

As the world becomes more digital, the amount of data created and collected constantly grows and accelerates. Analysis of this ever-growing data becomes a challenge with traditional analytical tools. Innovation is required to bridge the gap between generated data and data that can be analyzed effectively.

Big data tools and technologies offer opportunities to analyze data efficiently so you can better understand customer preferences, gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and grow your business. Data management architectures have evolved from the traditional data warehousing model to more complex architectures that address more requirements, such as real-time and batch processing, structured and unstructured data, high velocity transactions, and so on.
