Big Data is a big buzz word these days. We will go over the Big Data roadmap a little bit. The talk will focus mainly on structure data for analytical purpose. We will show sample architecture of a big data platform for the structure data. We will dig into some details about the components in this platform. Majority of the components are nodes for different functions. We will go over the data node (can be treated as a database) and dig into how we architect it to make it run 10x faster than traditional databases.

As for business intelligence, we will go over the technology stack of BI and the most challenge part of a BI project. We will also show three case studies. One is the largest DW implementation in China and how BONC got it done. The second one is an ETL project in Taiwan and its complexity. The third one is how BI could be used in a MES reporting system which could be beneficial to some companies in the high tech manufacturing industry.
