Thank-you to Sandy Simpson from Illumination Works for sponsoring this October edition of the MOHUG Meet-Up!  

There has been significant growth in the volume, variety, and velocity of digital data being produced by and shared between computing systems today. Behavioral, social, sensor, and spatial data sources have exploded, personal and wearable devices have become ubiquitous, cloud computing has become commonplace, and wireless connectivity has become nearly universal. Traditional data warehousing is unable to keep up with the vast amount of information being created by the minute.  Advances in information technology infrastructure and environments, such as Hadoop and similar data lake concepts, are enabling greater scalability, utilization, and flexibility when dealing with free text data, log files, and other non-traditional data sources.  This session will examine the shortcomings of traditional data warehousing and discuss best practices, lessons learned and important considerations in transitioning into a new big data environment while leveraging existing EDW investments.
