Pentaho Makes Hadoop Easy
More and more enterprises are turning to Big Data solutions such as Hadoop to process and gain insight from high volume, velocity and variety data streams including text, click streams, log files, social media, documents, location and weather data, and more.
However, using Hadoop has its challenges. Steep technical learning curves and a lack of qualified technical staff create barriers to adoption. In addition, while Hadoop provides tremendous data processing power, data access tends to have high minimum latency, constraining its use for interactive analytics. Pentaho Business Analytics removes these barriers and enables you to easily process and deliver high performance analysis and visualization of your Hadoop data.
