IBM big data platform
IBM is unique in having developed an enterprise class big data platform that allows you to address the full spectrum of big data business challenges.
Why a platform versus individual products to address big data pain points? The real benefit of the platform is leverage – the ability to start with one capability and easily add others over your big data journey. IBM is the only vendor with this broad and balanced view of big data with the needs of a platform – the benefit is pre-integration of its components to reduce your implementation time and cost.
The key platform capabilities include:
- Hadoop-based analytics: Processes and analyzes any data type across commodity server clusters.
- Stream Computing: Drives continuous analysis of massive volumes of streaming data with sub-millisecond response times.
- Data Warehousing: Delivers deep operational insight with advanced in-database analytics.
- Information Integration and Governance: Allows you to understand, cleanse, transform, govern and deliver trusted information to your critical business initiatives.
Supporting platform services:
- Accelerators: Faster time to value with pre-packaged analytical and industry-specific content.
- Application Development: Streamline the process of developing big data applications.
- Information Integration and Governance: Integrate, protect, cleanse, govern, and deliver your trusted information
- Systems Management: Monitor and manage your big data system for secure and optimized performance.
- Reference Architectures: Hardware, networking and system software blueprints to accelerate time to value.
The platform blends traditional technologies that are well suited for structured, repeatable tasks together with complementary new technologies that address speed and flexibility and are ideal for adhoc data exploration, discovery and unstructured analysis.
