Big Data: The Basics
Qu’entend-on par big data?
Le défi essentiel des Big Data n'est pas de stocker les données pour une durée indéterminée et pour un usage futur, mais bien de les traiter dans un temps compatible avec les enjeux métiers actuels ou potentiels.
Ceci nécessite la mise en œuvre d'une démarche analytique permettant :
- d'adresser la réactivité, qui se traduit parfois par des usages quasi temps-réel,
- d'adresser la complexité, inhérente à l'algorithme ou induite par la diversité des données,
- de mettre en perspective ces deux derniers aspects par rapport aux enjeux et aux usages métiers de l'entreprise.
Derrière les Big Data, il y a avant tout des usages et en particulier ceux qui favorisent la prise de décision « argumentée » basée sur une démarche expérimentale ou analytique appropriée en trois phases : découvrir, modéliser, décider.

Big Data Analytics
Quelles que soient la vitesse, la volumétrie et la variété de ces données, les entreprises doivent être en mesure de tirer parti de la valeur des informations stockées en masse grâce à une approche analytique des Big Data – c’est ce que l’on appelle les Big Data Analytics.
Répondre aux enjeux des Big Data grâce à l’utilisation de solutions Big Data Analytics vous permet de transformer vos données structurées et non structurées en un véritable capital informationnel tout en exploitant de manière optimale vos infrastructures techniques.
Hadoop
Les big data représentent un gisement de valeur important pour les entreprises. Hadoop est l’une des technologies phares utilisées pour fédérer et gérer des nouvelles sources de données (sites web, mobilité, médias sociaux, log machine etc...). Hadoop fonctionne sur des serveurs standards, ne nécessite pas l’achat de matériel spécifique et est particulièrement adapté au stockage de données non structurées, comme du texte ou des documents multimédia. Hadoop peut répondre à des cas d’usages très divers, dans une approche financièrement acceptable.

Data Visualisation
Voir pour comprendre, telle est notre définition de la visualisation de données. Approcher vos données de façon graphique vous offre des perspectives nouvelles. Représenter vos informations sans recours à aucun spécialiste est un accélérateur dans l’entreprise, le partage et la collaborateur sont vos atouts pour usage efficace de vos données, quel qu’en soit la volumétrie. La data visualisation est le moyen le plus simple de traiter et d’interpréter les grandes quantités d’informations.
Internet des Objets
Basé sur la connectivité directe ou indirecte, l'Internet des objets recouvre tout ce qui intègre des modules de communication. La mise en connexion de nos voitures, télévisions, montres, stylos, podomètres et autres appareils à internet crée un réseau d'objets connectés appelé l'Internet des Objets. C'est une nouvelle révolution technologique et culturelle dont les exploitations sont illimitées. Nouveaux défis ? Bénéfices ?
