Big Data Analytics with Greenplum Unified Analytics Platform

Submitted May 4, 2012

In this talk, attendees will learn various use cases of Big Data analytics, and how to solve them Greenplum’s Unified Analytics platform that combines Greenplum Chorus, a collaboration platform for data science teams; Greenplum Database, a powerful MPP database; and Greenplum HD, a distribution of Apache Hadoop.

Outline

Increase in the volume, variety and velocity of data in the enterprise has given rise to data analytics infrastructure that is markedly different from the traditional data warehousing platforms. In addition, deriving value from the available data has prompted a new discipline called data science, and has resulted in different workloads for these platforms. In this talk, I will outline Greenplum’s vision of the Unified Analytics Platform (UAP). Greenplum UAP combines Chorus, a collaboration platform for data science and analytics teams; Greenplum Database, a massively parallel database for structured data processing; and Greenplum HD, our distribution of Apache Hadoop. I will outline several use-cases that involved both structured and unstructured data analytics, and and describe how these are solved by our customers using Greenplum UAP.

Requirements

Knowledge of SQL, and familiarity of Apache Hadoop ecosystem is assumed.
