What you'll learn

  • Understand the importance of adaptive analytics and considerations for transitioning from legacy data warehouses to Hadoop-based platforms

Description

Traditional data warehouses have become slow, complicated, and mostly too expensive to address the torrent of new data sources and evolving analytic approaches needed for decision making. Organizations today are looking at new and modern approaches that are drastically different from legacy options.

Alex Gutow discusses the importance of adaptive analytics and shares everything you need to know while transitioning from legacy data warehouses to Hadoop-based platforms. Join in to find out why you need modern platforms to move, host, and analyze your data with MicroStrategy and Cloudera.

Topics include:
• Industry trends related to the adoption of modern Hadoop-based platform usage as it relates to existing EDWs
• Key user challenges when migrating workloads
• Guidance on implementing a successful offload strategy
• Best practices and complementary technologies to support these transitions
• Business impact and strategies for end-user adoption

This session is sponsored by MicroStrategy.
