AmazonBig Data Trailblazer by Raju Gulabani, VP of Database Services

In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began offering IT infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services -- now commonly known as cloud computing. One of the key benefits of cloud computing is the opportunity to replace up-front capital infrastructure expenses with low variable costs that scale with your business. With the Cloud, businesses no longer need to plan for and procure servers and other IT infrastructure weeks or months in advance. Instead, they can instantly spin up hundreds or thousands of servers in minutes and deliver results faster. Today, Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world. AWS offers a wide range of database services to fit your application requirements. These database services are fully managed and can be launched in minutes with just a few clicks. AWS database services include Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), with support for six commonly used database engines, Amazon Aurora, a MySQL-compatible relational database with five times the performance, Amazon DynamoDB, a fast and flexible NoSQL database service, Amazon Redshift, a petabyte-scale data warehouse service, and Amazon ElastiCache, an in-memory cache service with support for Memcached and Redis. AWS also provides the AWS Database Migration Service, a service which makes it easy and inexpensive to migrate your databases to AWS cloud.

Over the past few years, a growing number of organizations have launched programs to evaluate, pilot, and integrate Hadoop into the enterprise.

To better understand the current state of the Hadoop adoption and the productionalization process, and to provide insight into the current state of integration among a variety of organizations, Decisionworx, in collaboration with The Bloor Group, recently published findings from their ‘Hadoop in Transition, From Proof-of-Concept to Production’ survey1. Results showed that in spite of the growing pool of reported Hadoop success stories, we are still in the early stages of Hadoop adoption.

At a high level, the most frequently-cited business drivers for Hadoop adoption include predictive analytics, the ability to use a data lake, warehouse augmentation, and real-time analytics. The researchers suspect that the more mundane use cases such as a data lake or warehouse augmentation provide practical value while positioning the organization to embrace more sophisticated application capabilities like analytics. However, data ingestion, enterprise integration, application development, and integration within the data architecture are still seen as being challenging.

Researchers concluded that organizations desiring to stay competitive as Hadoop use becomes more mainstream should invest in proactive training programs for staff members, as well as partner with Hadoop support providers and technology vendors like Attunity that can help automate and better manage the design, development, deployment, integration and continuous operations of their Hadoop ecosystem.
