Who is this presentation for?

  • Big data architects, software providers, cloud architects, open source contributors, data executives, and data science managers

What you'll learn

  • Understand the options, reasons, and criteria for selecting large-scale and multiple storage solutions, what you gain and lose by choosing specific storage systems, why the concept of data gravity affects the need to plan your future use of data, analytics, and data science capabilities, and how the Hadoop ecosystem responds to trends in large-scale storage services

Description

Data storage is the foundation of all modern data processing systems. Big data architectures in particular have been founded on scalable, durable, storage infrastructure, because this enables the unique advantages that come with scale. While Hadoop has traditionally been associated with HDFS, its clear interfaces have enabled alternative implementations to emerge with different capabilities, scale, performance, and distribution characteristics.

Every organization is considering its storage options, with an eye toward the cloud. Paul Scott-Murphy explores what makes different large-scale storage systems and services unique, their clear (and unexpected) differences, the options you have to use them, and the surprises you can expect along the way.

This session is sponsored by WanDisco.
