This eBook from O’Reilly Media will help you navigate the diverse and fast-changing landscape of technologies for processing and storing data (NoSQL, big data, MapReduce, etc).

Althrough Hadoop and related technologies have been with us for several years, most business intelligence (BI) professionals and their business counterparts still harbor a few misconceptions that need to be corrected about Hadoop and related technologies such as MapReduce. This webcast presents the 10 most common myths about Hadoop, then corrects them. The goal is to clarify what Hadoop is and does relative to BI, as well as in which business and technology situations Hadoop-based BI, data warehousing and analytics can be useful.

Download this paper to learn how Unified Data Architecture™ can bridge the gap between the business language of SQL, the extreme processing power of MapReduce, and the big data residing in Hadoop to provide a unified, high-performance big data analytics system for the enterprise.

Independent research firm Knowledge Integrity Inc. examine two high performance computing technologies that are transitioning into the mainstream: high performance massively parallel analytical database management systems (ADBMS) and distributed parallel programming paradigms, such as MapReduce, (Hadoop, Pig, and HDFS, etc.). By providing an overview of both concepts and looking at how the two approaches can be used together, they conclude that combining a high performance batch programming and execution model with an high performance analytical database provides significant business benefits for a number of different types of applications.

Download this paper to learn why the power of Hadoop 2.0 lies in enabling applications to run inside Hadoop, without the constraints of MapReduce.
