Overview

Part of the Data Ed Week Europe

Big data, analytical database servers, Hadoop, NoSQL, Spark, MapReduce, SQL-on-Hadoop, translytical databases, and appliances are all immensely popular terms in the IT industry today. Due to this avalanche of new developments, it’s becoming harder and harder for organisations to select the right tools. Which technologies are relevant? Are they mature? What are their use cases? Are they worthy replacements for the more traditional SQL products? How should they be incorporated in the existing data warehouse architecture?” These are all valid but difficult to answer questions. This tutorial discusses and explains these new data storage technologies clearly and explains why and how they can be relevant for any organisation. Market overviews are presented, strengths and weaknesses are discussed, and guidelines and best practices are discussed. It is intended for anyone who has to stay up to date and implement the new developments, including data warehouse designers, business intelligence experts, database specialists, database experts, consultants, and technology planners.

All public courses are available as in-house training. Contact us for more information.
