As organizations strive to identify and realize the value in Big Data, many now seek more agile and capable analytic systems.

Apache Hadoop is a software framework that provides measurable savings and value for storage and data processing at tremendous scale.

While many have piloted Hadoop as a data repository for simple workloads, there is much more value that can be created from Hadoop by leveraging the data in the platform more, to interact with the data and uncover new business insights.

But challenges exist, limiting this value and leaving opportunity on the table.

• 57% of businesses surveyed said “obtaining the necessary skills and capabilities needed” is a top 3 challenge for Hadoop*
• 49% of businesses surveyed said “determining how to get value from Hadoop” is a top 3 challenge for Hadoop*

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has developed a solution that solves these challenges through a robust, yet flexible, offering to deliver a future-proof data-centric foundation that scales with your evolving business needs.

• HPE Vertica for SQL on Hadoop lets you add analytics directly on your Hadoop infrastructure
• HPE SecureData provides end to end data centric security, whilst preserving the data format
