Webinar | Using Hadoop Analytics to Gain a Big Data Advantage

Editor's Notes

• #6: Come up with something new – to the point what they are looking for.Start with some stories. How real firms used our products, had a problem, solved it.Shows how they can’t solve problem with the tools they have.
• #8: Business users asking more sophisticated questionsExplore data in more detailCombine a variety of dataExtract actionable information and insight from it quicklyTraditional “big data” solutionsExtremely expensiveand/orNot enough detail
• #13: TravelTainment, a provider of multi-channel distribution platforms for the travel industry, is using Pentaho Business Analytics for self-service analytics and reporting in a Big Data environment. With the continually booming online travel market, TravelTainment’s different clients required more insight into its data to help them plan promotions and other services. Before Pentaho, the company had acquired a set of legacy systems that had grown around individual products with limited reporting capabilities. As a result, reporting was inefficient and time consuming for IT. When TravelTainment decided to standardize on a single customer-focused reporting application, it chose Pentaho Business Analytics for the solution’s self-service reporting and ability to manage Big Data sets. Pentaho Reporting enables TravelTainment to run reports three times faster and with more flexibility than before. TravelTainment can now, for the first time, offer its clients user-friendly, self-service and ad-hoc reporting services. This also means that TravelTainment’s developer team can now fully concentrate on its main business, rather than having to serve as a support desk for reporting. With the success of this implementation, TravelTainment now plans to evaluate using Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) to move its data in and out of Hadoop.

It needed to integrate enterprise data to improve information accuracy, cut costs, and uncover actionable insights. SolutionDell Enterprise Business Intelligence (EBI) consultants helped design and deploy an integrated, global enterprise data warehouse solution, combining Teradata, Informatica, and other BI software with new and existing Dell infrastructure components.Benefits• Accelerated customer shipment time by 33 percent and decreased the shipment backlog • Saved US$2 million by improving product quality and avoiding component replacements• Integrated data silos, offering an enterprise-wide view of information while reducing IT costs by US$35 million• Increased agility by providing information workers with self-service capabilities for accessing certified global data
• #26: Introducing the four products that make up the PowerEdge C8000 series:The PowerEdge C8000 4U shared infrastructure chassisThe PowerEdge C8220 single-wide compute sledThe PowerEdge C8220x double-wide GPU sledThe PowerEdge C8000x double-wide storage sled The PowerEdge C8000 chassis holds up to 8 single-wide compute sleds or 4double-wide compute sleds. Each compute sled is equivalent to a standard server built with a processor(s), memory, network interface, baseboard management controller, and local hard drive storage. The C8000 will only be the only 4U Shared Infrastructure on the market that gives customers compute, GPU, and storage options in one chassis with the ability for internal or external power. Zeus delivers the greatest amount configuration flexibility and front-side serviceability. Zeus’ flexibility allows customers to standardize on a single architecture. By using the same common chassis design for a variety of configurations, the PowerEdge C 8000 series can be scaled out, just like a versatile Lego block.  The advantages of Zeus:By using the same basic building block over and over again, our customers can get the performance they need, with less deployment and maintenance time needed. This efficient use of IT resources plus the shared infrastructure savings help lower the total cost of ownership. Technology refresh cycles can be staggered to further reduce the total cost of ownership over several years.
• #29: Emphasize results they can achieve! Go back to customer case studies.
