The series of one-day seminars offers an open discussion on how to start the journey to a modern data architecture and unlock the potential for Hadoop in any organization. Attendees will:

• Gain insight into the business value derived from Hadoop

A transformation is occurring in the data center. Enterprises are turning to a modern data architecture in order to derive maximum value from both big and small data across their organization. They are building new analytic apps that unlock opportunity and allow them to maintain or create competitive edge. Apache Hadoop is at the center of this architecture and integrates with the technologies that run your business to augment and extend this new value.

By combining the Hortonworks Data Platform, the industry’s only 100-percent open source Hadoop distribution, with the YARN Ready Actian Analytics Platform, organizations have access to industrialized Hadoop with comprehensive enterprise capabilities for data management, data access, data governance, integration, security and operations.
