BIG DATA

New data sources like social media sites, website logs, mobile devices and sensors generate unprecedented amount of unstructured and semi-structured data. The explosion of new data sources has not only provided organizations new opportunities to grow revenues and reduce costs but has also opened the door to possibilities. But manual processes for reconciling fragmented, duplicate, inconsistent, inaccurate, and incomplete data, as well as fragmented point solutions, result in dubious data and delayed business insights that can’t be trusted.

A systematic approach that quickly and repeatedly transforms ever-increasing amounts of big data into business value without risk is clearly the ingredient for success. MAGNOOS leverages the following solution offerings to make your big data projects successful

1. Big Data Management

MAGNOOS Approach for Big Data

Designing a Big Data solution is a complex task, considering the volume, variety and velocity of data today. Add to that the speed of technology innovations and competitive products in the market.

Proliferation of tools in the market has led to a lot of confusion around what to use and when, there are multiple technologies offering similar features and claiming to be better than the others.

MAGNOOS can help you analyzing your business problem objectively and identify whether it is a Big Data problem or not? Once that decision is made there are number of scenarios that needs to be considered while designing the Big data solution like Form and frequency of data, Type of data, Type of processing and analytics required.

MAGNOOS can help you to find the right technology as per your requirement and add more value with our own experience. We can help you step by step to build big data solution that suits your organization use cases.

Data Source

Source profiling is one of the most important steps in deciding the architecture. It involves identifying the different source systems (Database, File, web service, streams) and categorizing them based on their nature and type. You need to identify the internal and external sources systems and also make High-Level assumption for the amount of data ingested from each source. MAGNOOS can help you in identifying right mechanism that can be use to get data – push or pull.
  
  

Ingestion Strategy and Acquisition

Data ingestion in the Hadoop world means ELT (Extract, Load and Transform) as opposed to ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) in case of traditional warehouses.How MAGNOOS can help you with Ingestion Strategy and acquisition:

• To identify is there a need to change the semantics of the data append replace etc?

• Is there any data validation or transformation required before ingestion (Pre-processing)?

Data Storage

Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS) is the most commonly used storage framework in Big Data solution, others are the NoSQL data stores – MongoDB, HBase, Cassandra etc. Also we need to consider data compression requirements, query pattern while designing the solution. MAGNOOS can help you identifying the best solution that can work for your use case.
  

Data Processing

The Processing methodology is driven by business requirements. It can be categorized into batch, real-time or hybrid based on the SLA. For big data management solution MapReduce, Hive, Pig can be use for batch processing and for real time application Impala, Spark, spark SQL, Tez, Apache Drill are used.
We can help you in identifying right technology that can be use to process the data in organization.

Data Consumption

This layer consumes the output provided by processing layer. As per organization requirement different forms of data consumption can be:

• Export Datasets – There can be requirements for third-party dataset generation. Data sets can be generated using hive export or directly from HDFS.

• Reporting and visualization – Different reporting and visualization tool scan connect to Hadoop using JDBC/ODBC connectivity to hive.

• Data Exploration – Data scientist can build models and perform deep exploration in a sandbox environment.

• Adhoc Querying – Adhoc or Interactive querying can be supported by using Hive, Impala or spark SQL.
