Abstract

Managing large amounts of data generated (for example, over e-commerce sites) is considerably more complex as compared to data within enterprises.

Data volumes of the order of terabytes per week are increasingly not uncommon. Stefan will talk about some of the new technologies emerging in the open source space that are helping to manage this Big Data in ways that the data can be turned into manageable and useful information.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A session.
