Introduction to Big Data: Infrastructure and Networking Considerations

Big data is certainly one of the biggest buzz phrases in IT today. Combined with virtualization and cloud computing, big data is a technological capability that will force data centers to significantly transform and evolve within the next five years. Similar to virtualization, big data infrastructure is unique and can create an architectural upheaval in the way systems, storage, and software infrastructure are connected and managed. Unlike previous business analytics solutions, the real-time capability of new big data solutions can provide mission critical business intelligence that can change the shape and speed of enterprise decision making forever. Hence, the way in which IT infrastructure is connected and distributed warrants a fresh and critical analysis. This paper provides a general overview of traditional Hadoop architectures designed to deliver high-performance and scalable big data analytics.
