Title...:    Integrating Big Data into Your Data Center (or A Big Data Reference Architecture)
Date.:    Wed., August 1, 2012, at 7:00 p.m
Venue:: Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, Room

Weblogs, Social Media, smart meters, senors and other devices generate high volumes of low density information that isn't readily accessible in enterprise data warehouses and business intelligence applications today. But, this data can have relevant business value, especially when analyzed alongside traditional information sources. In this session, we will outline a reference architecture for big data that will help you maximize the value of your big data implementation. You will learn:

• The key technologies in a big architecture, and their specific use case
• The integration point of the various technologies and how they fit into your existing IT environment
• How effectively leverage analytical sandboxes for data discovery and agile development of data driven solutions

  At the end of this session you will understand the reference architecture and have the tools to implement this architecture at your company.

Presenter: Jean-Pierre Dijcks, Senior Principal Product Manager
