Leveraging Business Intelligence
We look forward to briefing the BBBT for our first time. – Jim Walker, Director of Product Marketing, Hortonworks
Boulder, Colorado (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
Hadoop has moved beyond the “hype” to become a vital piece of the modern data center. For some, Hadoop is a vehicle to efficiency, allowing them to right-size the data warehouse or cost effectively store mass amounts of data. For others, Hadoop presents a shortcut to insight that once was unheard of or not even considered.
The aspirational marketing of some vendors will paint a world where Hadoop blocks out the sun and you replace the EDW and all data systems with Hadoop. Hortonworks presents a more rational model for this addition to the data center.
“We look forward to briefing the BBBT for our first time. Hadoop has come a long way, and we are thrilled to see this community’s interest in the topic and share the excitement of the potential benefit of this technology to modern day business intelligence,” said Jim Walker, Director of Product Marketing at Hortonworks.
According to BBBT Founder, Claudia Imhoff, “Hortonworks is right in the center of the innovation wave around analytics. Their technology has changed BI architectures forever and for good.”
