Topic

Time-To-Value In Big Data Deployments

Abstract

Enterprises working to take advantage of Big Data technologies frequently become distracted by product- level decisions: What hardware, which distribution, who will build and run the environment? In most new Big-Data builds, this approach is counter-productive: It presupposes tools that may not be a fit for development teams; it forces IT to take on the burden of evaluating and maintaining a new and unfamiliar technology; and, most importantly, it represents an up-front expense that requires new “Big Data” initiatives to show value from a position of up-front capital and operational debt. In this session, Ravi Iyer will discuss how to enhance time-to-value in Big Data deployments.
