Big Data Analytics Solutions

A number of vendors on the market today support big data solutions. Here is a listing of a few solutions that you may find interesting:






✓ IBM (www.ibm.com) is taking an enterprise approach to big data and integrating across the platform including embedding/bundling its analytics. Its products include a warehouse (InfoSphere warehouse) that has its own built-in data-mining and cubing capability. Its new PureData Systems (a packaging of advanced analytics technology into an integrated systems platform) includes many packaged analytical integrations. Its InfoSphere Streams product is tightly integrated with its Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistical software to support real-time predictive analytics, including the capability to dynamically update models based on real-time data. It is bundling a limited-use license of Cognos Business Intelligence with its key big data platform capabilities (enterprise-class Hadoop, stream computing, and warehouse solutions).

✓ SAS (www.sas.com) provides multiple approaches to analyze big data via its high-performance analytics infrastructure and its statistical software. SAS provides several distributed processing options. These include in-database analytics, in-memory analytics, and grid computing.
Deployments can be on-site or in the cloud.

✓ Tableau (www.tableausoftware.com), a business analytics and data visualization software company, offers its visualization capabilities to run on top appliances and other infrastructure offered by a range of big data partners, including Cirro, EMC Greenplum, Karmasphere, Teradata/
Aster, HP Vertica, Hortonworks, ParAccel, IBM Netezza, and a host of others.

✓ Oracle (www.oracle.com) offers a range of tools to complement its big data platform called Oracle Exadata. These include advanced analytics via the R programming language, as well as an in-memory database option with Oracle’s Exalytics in-memory machine and Oracle’s data
warehouse. Exadata is integrated with its hardware platform.

✓ Pentaho (www.pentaho.com) provides open source business analytics via a community and enterprise edition. Pentaho supports the leading Hadoop-based distributions and supports native capabilities, such as MapR’s NFS high-performance mountable file system.

Cloud Computing Reference Architecture: An Overview

The Conceptual Reference Model Figure 1 presents an overview of the NIST cloud computing reference architecture, which identifies the major actors, their activities and functions in cloud computing. The diagram depicts a generic high-level architecture and is intended to facilitate the understanding of the requirements, uses, characteristics and standards of cloud computing. As shown in Figure 1, the NIST cloud computing reference architecture defines five major actors: cloud consumer, cloud provider, cloud carrier, cloud auditor and cloud broker. Each actor is an entity (a person or an organization) that participates in a transaction or process and/or performs tasks in cloud computing. Table 1 briefly lists the actors defined in the NIST cloud computing reference architecture. The general activities of the actors are discussed in the remainder of this section, while the details of the architectural elements are discussed in Section 3. Figure 2 illustrates the intera

Cloud Architecture

The cloud providers actually have the physical data centers to provide virtualized services to their users through Internet. The cloud providers often provide separation between application and data. This scenario is shown in the Figure 2. The underlying physical machines are generally organized in grids and they are usually geographically distributed. Virtualization plays an important role in the cloud scenario. The data center hosts provide the physical hardware on which virtual machines resides. User potentially can use any OS supported by the virtual machines used.  Operating systems are designed for specific hardware and software. It results in the lack of portability of operating system and software from one machine to another machine which uses different instruction set architecture. The concept of virtual machine solves this problem by acting as an interface between the hardware and the operating system called as system VMs . Another category of virtual machine is called

CLOUD COMPUTING – An Overview

Resource sharing in a pure plug and play model that dramatically simplifies infrastructure planning is the promise of „cloud computing‟. The two key advantages of this model are easeof-use and cost-effectiveness. Though there remain questions on aspects such as security and vendor lock-in, the benefits this model offers are many. This paper explores some of the basics of cloud computing with the aim of introducing aspects such as: Realities and risks of the model  Components in the model  Characteristics and Usage of the model  The paper aims to provide a means of understanding the model and exploring options available for complementing your technology and infrastructure needs. An Overview Cloud computing is a computing paradigm, where a large pool of systems are connected in private or public networks, to provide dynamically scalable infrastructure for application, data and file storage. With the advent of this technology, the cost of computation, application hosting, c
