The emergence of large scale Big Data projects continue to grow. This has fueled the need to process Big Data faster and is accelerating the adoption of new approaches and technologies. One such technology exploding in 2015 is Apache Spark. According to IBM this is a crucial technology that will make it possible to quickly gain insights from data. This will produce extraordinary time and cost savings and will enable early adopters to thereby save time and spot opportunities in areas like sales and new product development at an unprecedented rate. Donnie Berkholz of 451 Research will discuss Big Data demands and the technologies required to support these. Dima Rekesh of IBM will also explain why it has thrown its full weight behind Spark with a commitment of more than 3,500 of its research and development engineers to work on Spark-related projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Flexiant will also discuss some of the challenges in creating and launching Spark Clusters and in enabling auto-scaling and self-healing. Join 451 Research, IBM and Flexiant for this live webinar discussion to discuss the market opportunity for Big Data and analytics, the emergence of technologies such as Hadoop and Spark and the challenges for data engineers, developers, DevOps and service providers as they seek to support or use Spark.
