Our Approach
Big data can be usually be analyzed with using the software tools, commonly used as part of advanced analytics disciplines such as the predictive analytics, text analytics, data mining and statistical analysis. Also in addition, the mainstream BI software and data visualization tools can also play a crucial role in the analysis process.
However given the semi-structured and unstructured data that is procured, may not fit well in the traditional data warehouses based on relational databases. More so, the processing demands posed by the sets of big data that need to be updated often or even continually may not be handled well by the data warehouses. Examples such as, the real-time data on the performance of mobile applications or of oil and gas pipeline makes this problem evident. This results into several organizations that collect, process and analyze big data have now turned to newer class of technologies such as Hadoop and other related tools such as Spark, Hive, YARN, MapReduce and Pig as well as NoSQL databases. The advantages of these technologies being, that they are able to form the core of an open source software framework which inherently support the processing of massive and diverse data sets at the same time across clustered systems.
