Big Data Tools One Size Does Not Fit All when it comes to Enterprises

We have heard enough about Big Data in the last few years. The technologies, the benefits, the big ideas etc. Now we are moving into the era of Application ie. how to realize the real benefits. Yes the Interprisers (Internet Companies) are in the fore front of using the various technologies and the data effectively since most of the current set of tools have their origins from these Interprising companies. The sucess of the current set of tools in the Interprises are because of the nature of the data they have to handle which is predominently unstructured. But when it comes to the real enterprises the challenge arises because of the nature of the data and the operations they perform on their data. The enterprise data are mostly structured and the operations performed on them are mostly relational. It does not mean Enterprises cannot benefit from using the Big Data technologies. The benefits a traditional enterprise would get using the current set of big data tools and technologies would not be same as what an Interprising company would be looking at. Hence enterprises need to have a different approach in using the technologies and tools. One of the key aspects will be looking at interoperability of the traditional big data tools sets like hadoop or nosql db’s etc with traditional Enterprise data management tools used for datawarehousing, ETL, BI related functions. Its critical that Enterprises have a clear principles to achieve the same.
