Turn Data into Insights Faster

Install and configure Big Data clusters easily

Go fastYou don’t always know what you’re looking for, or what you’ll find when performing data analysis. So you can’t define everything upfront. But you do need to provide access to the data and allow your people to experiment in ways that don’t hinder security or introduce risk. Hadoop allows any type of data to be stored and explored, while data management platforms provide security and data protection. Crucially, there's no need to wrestle with the challenges you get with generic IT infrastructure.Data management platforms purpose built for enterprise usersHadoop is a Big Data Analytics platform providing a much faster way to get customer insights.Unlike traditional relational databases that require information to be transformed into a specified structure before it can be loaded, Hadoop stores data in its raw format (i.e. unstructured data).You can create a shared repository - or 'data lake' - running on a cluster of servers that can be accessed by all users within your organisation.

However, Hadoop clusters must be managed with appropriate governance and security.Fastest file system on the planet

Cisco UCS for Big Data comes pretested and pre-validated for enterprise-class data management platforms including MapR, Cloudera, Hortonworks, and IBM (plus many more). These platforms allow you to store, protect and access data quickly and easily when using Hadoop-based applications.You can also provision Hadoop clusters much faster using Big Data Automation, which is available under the Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite. As the orchestration platform for your data centre, it ensures infrastructure layers are synchronised, optimised and consistently available on demand.Deploy Hadoop and Splunk clusters on demand
