The BI Revolution: Data Deluge or Opportunity?

Today, very large, Hadoop-class data sets—such as those managed by Google, eBay, and Amazon—aren’t found in every enterprise. It may be difficult to imagine data sets of this type and size—and the need for analyzing them—becoming common. Consider, however, what’s happening in the world of the connected Web, where three remarkably powerful drivers—data aggregation, data exhaust, and metadata—are becoming fundamental building blocks for tomorrow’s business model, in organizations of nearly any size. These three forces arise principally from the wide and growing variety of new, Web-based applications and services. Further, they provide the backdrop to the enormous expansion of digital data that has been underway for more than a decade, with market research firm IDC estimating that 1,200 exabytes of data will be generated this year alone.

The Analytics Landscape

The term “analytics” has evolved over the past decades into a vibrant ecosystem encompassing a wide range of technologies and products. This ecosystem spans fields traditionally associated with the word, such as statistical and predictive analytics, to “business intelligence” (traditionally including at least reporting and analysis), middleware technologies designed for analytics, as well as specially designed databases for analytic workloads. Jaspersoft delivers native reporting for Big Data including Hadoop and NoSQL as well as analysis and reporting for MPP Analytic Database. Go to Download.
