Harper Reed on The Power of Data

The emergence of Apache Hadoop over the past few years has required organizations to completely rethink architectures that have been in place for decades. And with changes in the underlying data fabric, come ripple effects, and often bottlenecks, that impact all levels of an organization both business and technical. Discover what is possible for radical Hadoop performance improvements – an important capability allowing organizations to use data to discover and drive new top-line opportunities.

Pivotal HD Introduction & Demo

Hadoop is the engine powering the Big Data era, an unstoppable force boasting massive investments and a rich ecosystem. But this is only the beginning: Hadoop has the potential to reach beyond Big Data and become the Foundation for Change, catalyzing new levels of business productivity and transformation. Hadoop will become the Foundation for Change.

Hadoop: The Foundation For Change

Join us for a breakthrough announcement.

On February 25th, EMC Greenplum will unveil product and technology innovations that will make Hadoop bigger, better, more accessible and meaningful than ever before. We believe that Hadoop has the potential to reach beyond Big Data to catalyze new levels of business productivity and transformation. Join us as we reveal how Hadoop becomes the Foundation for Change.

CASE STUDY: Customer Experience Transformation with Big Data Analytics #CET

EMC Greenplum and Alpine Data Labs have created an integrated analytics solution that transforms what has long been a cumbersome and time-consuming process, performed by a team of specialists, into a simple and powerful system that delivers Big Data results faster than ever before and empowers cross-functional teams to work collaboratively in delivering business success. Learn about the industry’s latest data tools and techniques to support your organization’s quest for data-driven success.

How to Achieve Accelerated Decision Making with Predictive Analytics

Using Greenplum to Deliver Big Data Analytics

Organizations are under pressure to increase the speed and effectiveness of their decision-making to increase business agility. Increasingly, expanded analytic capabilities are the means to achieve this goal and that requires more than just a Big Data analytics platform. 

Organizations need to update the skills of their teams, foster an environment that enables analytic productivity, and develop a mindset towards data that values it as the new fuel for organizational productivity. 

Learn why human skills such as creativity, communications and leadership are becoming more valuable than ever in the era of big data.

Architecting a Data-Driven Organization

EMC announced the availability of Greenplum Chorus, delivering a Facebook-like social collaboration tool for Data Science teams to iterate on the development of datasets and ensure that useful insights are delivered to the business quickly.  In addition to being social, Greenplum Chorus is now also open source. See a live demo of Greenplum Chorus, the industry’s first social toolset for Big Data, enabling Data Science teams to collaborate on datasets in a Facebook-like way.

Social Meets Big Data: Chorus Demo

In this one hour webinar, you’ll hear about the latest trends relating to Big Data Analytics and Hadoop and how innovative enterprises are leveraging their Big Data assets to gain new insights and identify new opportunities to help them accelerate their business. You’ll also learn about six key challenges of providing an enterprise-ready Hadoop infrastructure and how to address them with the industry’s first and only scale-out storage solution with native Hadoop integration.

Accelerate Your Business With Enterprise Ready Hadoop Solutions From EMC

EMC’s acquisition of Pivotal Labs proves the company really understands the big data market. Namely, that big data won’t go anywhere without great applications, and EMC isn’t the company to help customers figure out how to build theirs. At an event at the Pivotal office in New York today, EMC Greenplum SVP of Products (and Greenplum co-founder) Scott Yara let the world in on a dirty little secret: systems software company can’t build apps that users want to use. That’s why Greenplum actually contracted Pivotal to help it build the Greenplum Chorus product on which the company is placing a great deal of emphasis. Greenplum was so impressed with Pivotal, it decided the company needed to join the growing EMC empire, Pivotal Founder and CEO Rob Mee told me. See more now.

Social Meets Big Data: Chorus Goes Open Source

Hosted by SiliconAngle and Wikibon, this pre-show discusses the next wave of Big Data.  See how EMC's new products and services all have a singular goal - to enable organizations to derive greater insight and economic value from Big Data – datasets so large they break traditional IT infrastructures.

Social Meets Big Data: EMC TV Coverage

Organizations across sectors are faced with a major challenge beyond the massive amount of data being generated. It’s unclear which technology mix provides the operational and business agility required for deriving maximum value from big data – so most organizations continue to work with limited point solutions or traditional BI tools. 

Learn why big data productivity requires an upgrade to a purpose-built, unified analytics platform and how bringing this capability into your organization gives you a decision advantage that will put you ahead of your competition.

Getting Agile Through Big Data Analytics

The growth of big data and the continuing dramatic decline in the cost of storage and computer processing power are having a profound impact on the way business is being conducted across sectors. 

This webinar focuses on the network as the fundamental technology that powers the compute and storage levels of the big data stack. 

You’ll learn why low-latency, nonstop networking is essential to keeping data flowing smoothly throughout your organization and enabling timely, precise analytics that enhance your business decisions.

Big Data Requires Big Networks

Big data analytics is where advanced analytic techniques operate on big data. By now its obvious that big data that is useful for analytics is quite different from the pristine and well-ordered  data of the average data warehouse. Armed with advanced analytics insights, business users can make well-informed, fact-based decisions to support their organizations tactical and strategic goals and create a competitive advantage. This is an important task right now, because the recent economic recession forced deep changes into most businesses.

Going forward, organizations will need new tools and technologies to harness the power of big data analytics even if the organization has already deployed a full-blown business intelligence and data warehousing technology stack.

This webcast will help you get  your arms around analytic platforms and technologies purpose-built for big data. It will also cover:
