Oracle’s Big Plans For Big Data Analysis By Doug Henschen, InformationWeek, Oct 4 th, 2011 Presented by Group 7: Sam Tucker and Ayoung Noh

Summary Oracle is going to release new big data hardware and software Big Data Appliance Supports NoSQL Implements R statistical analysis software Implements Hadoop for cloud and parallel processing

Big Data Appliance

Used for social media, web log, mobile and geospatial data Up to 432 Terabytes of storage Linux based Automatically generates Java code to run MapReduce functions Intended to make Hadoop more accessible Uses Oracle NoSQL – interprets new data on the fly without a schema

Exalytics Business Intelligence Machine 40 CPU cores Exalytics suite has 1 terabyte of RAM (efficiently compresses data) Provides predictive and statistical models and graphical analysis Used in conjunction with other tools to bring them easily into memory: Hadoop and MapReduce Other Oracle products bring data into memory for analysis almost as quickly

Why is it interesting? Represents a new trend in DB Design Include an open-source version of Apache Hadoop software backed with Oracle enterprise support service Oracle R Enterprise will be backwards compatible with existing R applications Less than a year ago, Oracle said that NoSQL was unimportant

Relationship With Course Relevant to chapters of Physical DB Design (current topic) Relational Data Model Data Mining Big Data etc.
