Learn to Harness the Power of Big Data at a Hadoop Jump Start Event

Chicago, IL – March 4, 2015 – After recently hosting a successful event in Chicago, Aptude, Inc., announces that the technical overview seminar of Hadoop and Big Data will be repeated in Atlanta.

“Hadoop Jump Start – Atlanta” takes place on Wednesday, March 18 at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North, 7 Concourse Pkwy., Atlanta. The free, daylong event begins with registration and breakfast at 7 a.m. and will conclude at 4 p.m. Lunch is also included.

The program will give IT directors, vice presidents and other stakeholders a good understanding of Apache Hadoop, its framework and practical-use cases of the technology. Uday Mehta, Aptude’s vice president of Big Data, will present the program.

Participants can expect to gain:
• A firm grasp of the differences between relational database concepts and Hadoop, as well as the related advantages/disadvantages
• Best practices for communicating with their organization about the Hadoop ecosystem and its potential
• Actionable insights they can apply to their organization’s Big Data strategy/initiatives

“Understanding the Hadoop eco-system will provide IT leaders and stakeholders a foundation for making long-term strategic decisions for their potential Big Data needs,” Mehta explained.

“As open-source software, Hadoop provides a scalable, cost-effective solution,” he continued. “It is specifically designed to handle data coming in at high velocity and from a variety of sources in enterprise environments.”
