Emma McGrattan, SVP of Engineering, Actian with Sandy Krishnamurthy, Engineer, Actian


A Database Month event http://www.DBMonth.com/database/hadoop-data-warehouse


Hadoop adopters typically fall into two broad categories - those who see it as a platform for big data innovation, & those who dreamed of it providing the same capabilities as an enterprise data warehouse only at a commodity price point. Big Data Innovators are thriving on the Hadoop platform, & mining & refining data at volumes that were never before possible. However, most of those who expected Hadoop to replace their enterprise data warehouse have been greatly disappointed, & in response have been building complex architectures that typically do not end up meeting their business requirements.

Emma McGrattan, who has worked with data since before it became 'big', will share her unique insights into the Hadoop successes in the enterprise data warehouse space, as well as entertain you with some of the horror stories that she has encountered along the way. Emma will provide you with a checklist of factors to consider before deciding on a specific Big Data strategy, & attempt to provide a lifeboat for some of your floundering Hadoop projects.
