How In-Memory Data Grids Can Analyze Fast-Changing Data in Real-Time

Sponsored Content

The ability to continuously analyze operational data unlocks the potential for organizations to extract important patterns. Popular big data systems are not well suited for this challenge. However, in-memory data grid technology (IMDGs) offers important breakthroughs that enable real-time analysis of operational data. Benchmarks have demonstrated that an IMDG can complete map/reduce analyses every four seconds across a changing, terabyte data set. This article discusses how IMDGs deliver this new capability to analyze fast-changing, operational data. Read more…

The Big Data Security Gap: Protecting the Hadoop Cluster

Sponsored Content

Hadoop enables the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers, but its approach presents a unique set of security challenges that many enterprise organizations aren’t equipped to handle. Open source approaches to securing Hadoop are still in their infancy, and lack robustness. Zettaset Orchestrator™ is the only solution that has been specifically designed to meet enterprise security requirements in big data and Hadoop environments. Learn what every organization should know about Hadoop security. Read more…
