Track: Big Data Innovations and Integration

Big data is everywhere. We see it on commercials. We hear it in conversations over coffee. It is an expanding topic in the boardroom. The hype is palpable, but what is real and - better yet - how does it affect the status quo?
At the center of the big data discussion is Apache Hadoop, a next-generation enterprise data platform that lets you capture, process, and share the enormous amounts of new, multi-structured data that doesn’t fit into traditional systems. 
Microsoft and Hortonworks have partnered to help you bridge this new world of unstructured content with the structured data you manage today. See how this partnership is bringing Hadoop to the masses as an addition to your current enterprise data architecture so that you can gain net new insight without net new headache.
